It depends somewhat on the amount won (I know, greedy, greedy). Assuming a large payout, and don't we all assume that, I would:
Pay off all bills and debts and put finances on a lifelong strictly cash basis.
Obtain all reasonable feminazation surgeries and procedures beyond the basics I now have scheduled.
Help all deserving family members and friends.
Go on a large shopping raid for cars, new house, clothes, jewelry, toys, etc, etc.
Set up a foundation to support, aid and underwrite transgender equality and work financially to underwrite campaigns to defeat the vicious right-wingers that attack us and to destroy them personally in the same manner they use (yes, get down in their dirt; whatever it takes to get them) political speech over.
Set up a seperate foundation to support my historical interests, also long-term program to help preserve various local businesses and enable them to remain open.

1.   First I would move my mother and brother back up north;
2.   Next I would have work done on hair, teeth, and face;
3.   Third I would open a scholarship fund in my daughter's memory;
4.   After that I would find a customer shoemaker to make me pretty shoes in my size (14);
5.   Then would come the cruise, shopping trips, house, etc.

I would pay for hair removal and go crazy with bringing it to the body too. I would also pay for FFS if I see I need it. Then... I would buy a house, and an electric car, and I would hire someone to clean my house every week and things like that :D.

(Maybe I'd travel somewhere too, but not sure.)

I'd buy and do up the perfect little flat (nothing too outlandish, but with enough room to put all my cds/books on shelves).
Then I'd fund a good retirement for my parents and a decent start up for my sister, pay her and my university debts off.

Then, I would probably start a theatre company for all my various friends to write/direct/act/design etc for - thus providing a lifetime of fun, hard work, freedom and creative type stuff.

Depends, if it is a $7 lotto I'll buy a monster and go bowl. lol

Ok, really. If it was in the millions of dollars I would

~Put 2-4 million in the bank drawing interest to live off of. 1 million at 5% interest is a free $50,000 at year with out touching the original million, that will cover my bills, utilities, fun stuff.

~I would buy a good amount of land with a nice, modest, small house for when I have company. There will be a Pool house/studio apartment where I would live that is basically a library and tech lab in one where i can do me research, experiments, and....just be me.

~As a former amateur pro motocross racer, I would go find a few young kids who don't have anything and buy some bikes and sponsor them racing. I have already done this once while I was racing and want to to do it again but be able to take them to Nationals and provide a private practice track.

~Buy my parents a house. As different as we are and even though they know nothing of me being TG they always been there. They deserve it.

start up my own second hand bookshop (I'd live above the shop to save travelling to work), get hair removal treatments for my body and legs (the hairs are very stubborn, they really cling on in there when I try to epilate), maybe a new car but nothing flashy just a nice little urban runaround, definetly some new clothes, shoes, bags & bling, anything left would go in the bank and hopefully I'd earn enough profit on my shop to be able to afford private therapy & surgeries, I don't want to be a burden on the NHS if I can afford to go private

Real life people, who have really won the lottery (and winning the lottery has a surprising number of bad outcomes, but that doesn't surprise me, I think if you really want to totally wreck and destroy a human being, give them everything they want), will tell you it's not the telemarketers that will make your live a living hell, it's your family, followed by your friends. 

I originally thought I'd just skip the phone, but it does come in handy, but I don't answer it now (unless it's money) if I get back to you in a week, you're obviously important.  So winning would be no huge change in my life in that regard.

Besides I'm not sure you can insult telemarketers.  I think they have had the ability to be insulted surgically removed in the same way the members of the US Secret Service have all had their sense of humor removed.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...

First I would give half to my wife so I wouldn't feel guilty about how I spent the rest.  Then I have some family members and one friend I would help out.  And with time and money I could afford hair removal, pills, surgeries and what ever else it would take to look as I would like.  If there was anything left I would buy a shoe store.

I don't actually know.. :o

Well i'd start with financial security a nice house, feminization and live off some interest but depending on how much I'd love to fund/research medical advances < trouble with the medical advance funding one is lottery's are huge for personal stuff but when it's spread over something so demanding like a charity or research center that money soon depletes. I guess my real point is if i had enough money to do anything id do the research thing but realistically I'd probably stick with a simple home and feminization maybe the odd treat here and there, I've always been relatively money aware so i'm sure i could make it stretch especially if i pretended not to have won anything for a month or so since the interest would be more in that example (but i know i'd give into the house atleast early on)
One day the real me will escape, I personally can't wait. As for the rest of you? accept it and move on or get out of my way
