Suppose you win 100 million. What do you actually do with it? Banks only guarantee 250,000. Do you have to invest it? Is there anywhere you can just let it sit and draw interest?

Just invest enough to draw on to cover your basic needs for life and be secure, and spend the rest on things people you know need. Improve the place you live. Fix something small. Build some parks with low income housing nearby. Don't be a dick and buy shit just to buy shit for yourself.
