Good questions and that's why any big winner needs to see an attorney and financial planner before taking the loot. A big winner should be able to afford the best in advice. That would be my course.
I do seem to see that lots of sudden money has messed up many winner's lives. I don't quite understand that unless it's simply plain ignorance which is on display everywhere. I would do a LOT of traveling. Why? Well, if I'm constantly on the move, people won't have much of an opportunity to bug me about money.
And I would travel well. Think of a rock star like Mick Jagger. Private planes, limos, 5 star accommodations, catered food, etc. But to break out now and then and just roam the back roads of Europe or Japan (to name a couple) would be part of the plan.
I have no use for 3 houses on one cul sac like Elon Musk just unloaded for 30+ million. I might have some use for a real '73 922 Carrera RS from Canepa.
