Get an attorney and high end accountant on deck before you cash in ticket.

Get 5 high end wealth managers on deck to diversify your team.

Get a big bank (not local) for your fun money.

As much as this sounds like sound advice, but attorneys, money managers, and bank fees don't pay themselves. They will eat off any profit you think you are going to gain. And will look for ways to screw you at any move.

Best way is to stay small and humble. Invest in your local community such as donating money for a park or other worthwhile ventures to improve the community.

Also, when you deposit your funds at a local bank or multiple banks remember once you have 100 million dollars sitting there, you essentially own them as it will affect their balance sheet if you move your money out of there. Also, you may need to structure and have multiple accounts so that you can maximize your FDIC insurance in case the bank goes broke.
