$10 million would go in the bank so we could live off the interest.
$2 million earmarked for long term travel, which would immediately commence :)
$1 million would go to the building of a nice but not too big log cabin using solar/wind power plus an art workshop somewhere private
$2 million each to my 2 half-sisters, $2 million to the man my mother should have married but strung along for decades (but still stayed in our lives and helped me out.)

The rest would be split between:

The Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF)
Habitat for Humanity to Build Solar/Wind Powered Homes
No-Kill Animal Shelters
Tompkins County Public Library of Ithaca, NY for Acquisitions

Get a decent computer (sorry, janek but you never were thought to be a main system, you are too small for that)!

Repay the money my parents spend on my education. I wouldn't give them much more money since I would hate to see it spent on alcohol.

Immigrate into the US.

Build my dream house (very small and absolutely quiet) for me and my SO.

Live not in exaggerated luxury but with the suport I need.

Make a testament like in One Trillion Dollar (the youngest offspring of my children alive 500 years from the day of my death will get the money, which until that time would be invested)

Buy some gold.

Set up some funds for my kids and grandchildren.

Have fun with the rest. Life is short. Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.l
