First thing I would do is go out and acquire the services of a trauma counselor. Winning a huge amount of money like that can change the way you think, even if you think it won't. I'd do whatever I could to stay grounded and in a stable frame of mind to treat the money properly.
I'd buy a house somewhere in Calgary, outside of the city. Nothing too extravagant, but comfortable, in the $2-2.5 M range.
I'd buy a house in Kelowna, spend a little more to be on the lake, maybe $5-6 M.
I would give each of my parents a million, and pay for my sister's university. When she graduates, she could have her million too.
I'd set up education funds for my younger siblings, one is 7 years old and the other is 6 months old right now.
I'm sure my social circle would grow a little bit and chances are good most of the new additions would be big breasted, naive, blonde girls aged 18-25.
Buy a couple cars, some cool gadgets for my houses, a couple toys like a boat and a couple jetski's, and live out my days golfing, taking friends on trips, and makin' it rain in the club like Pacman.
