Right off the bat, I'd go pay off my car and give it to whoever wanted it. The only stipulation to that deal is, they'd have to give me a ride to the local Mercedes-Benz dealership so I can pick up a new SL65 AMG.

I'd drive that for a few days until I could track down the house I wanted with a big enough garage. That's when the fun would start. Just about every exotic I've ever wanted would be mine.

That'd just be the first week...

Purchase a few exotics for myself (Saleen S7 or something.) $1.5 million
Take out cash for some spending money $20,000
Buy my mother a new home and car and give some money to live $3 million
Pay off my sisters debt and buy her family (3 kids) a decent house for once. $2 million

I would buy about 25 acres of land, build a nice house that wasn't too big to upkeep, and a HUGE air conditioned shop in the back. Next to the shop, I'd have a 2-mile long road course built, with a nice 1/8-mile drag strip in the middle.

I wouldn't really buy too many exotics, just plenty of specialty cars and musclecars. I'd just restore cars, build racecars, and have fun with them.
