AS a Southern Gospel Fan, if the Publishers Clearing House van pulled up to your house and presented you with a check for 10 million dollars what would you do?
For me after Tithing and paying off debt I'd love to set up a foundation to help out local/regional Southern Gospel groups get better equipment and get recorded. I hear so many so many of these wonderful dedicated singers who through lack of funds or lack of connections never get heard outside of a small area and I'd love to be in a position to help some of theme expand their ministries.
I'd also love to set up an amphitheatre and have outdoor Southern Gospel concerts.

Tithe, pay off my debts & my immediate family's debts (that wouldn't take much). Put some aside to live off and then fulfill a dream: open & operate group homes for foster children in my area.

I'd invest in many $100,000 certificate of deposits at many institutions in order to keep FDIC insurance. I'd set them up to have the bank's mail me the interest checks each month instead of rolling the interest into the principal. Now that I'm earning $10,000+/month and never having to worry about running out of principal, I'd use the leftover amount and pay off all my debts. I'd find something part-time to do to keep myself occupied such as starting a mixed P&W/SG trio that I've always wanted to do but haven't had the time for yet. I'd also donate to church and see what family needs I could meet for both my and my wife's family.

I'd tithe, maybe buy our church a new building, and maybe buy some more members :)
Invest
Purchase a bus
start a group
hire a band
go only on love offerings 
start a recording studio
if i have enough money left over i'll purchase a Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable by Denon. (see david bruce murray's blog very funny! musicscribe)

I think would get my group going. pay tithes, build a new Church for my Church, and send piles to missionaries. then would start my own touring time and would not be charging crazy prices for tickets. get my fave groups to join it.
then would start a record label that would let the artists choose the singles they wanted to release because who knows better how the Lord moves with them than the artists. I know the label doesnt.
would start a publishing company.

First I would change my phone number, then pay my tithe, and take a long vacation & invest the rest. Of course the goverment would take their share before I got any to begin with.

Other than the obvious such as tithing, paying taxes, paying off debts of mine, my families, and my closest friends, then i would start making reservations for all the big SG events of the year, i would be at the NQC for all 6 days, all the SG cruises during the year, the Brumley singing , the Grand Ole Gospel Reunion, and many of the big sings and group homecomings that i could physically attend.
Oh yea, i forgot, first of all!, i would quit my job! I would call the turnpike and tell them I have collected the last toll .
