Professional Pain in the Ass.
Id tell them the truth of course, i run the worlds nicest game shop/bookstore/stripclub.
I've though this before. I'd open a gaming/ specialty book shop. I wouldn't really need it to be profitable, but I would want it to sustain itself. I'd give me a place to hang out daily.
~laughter~ another good TotP.
Honestly, amateur zoo keeper. We already have enough pets, and winning the lotto would mean adding a few more.

I can definitely see that happening to you. *grins*
Actually, due to my allergies, it would more likely be undead zookeeper.
Professional eccentric. I was just consitered crazy, but now I have the means to change that.

I've actually had this discussion with my wife when daydreaming about the lottery.
The game store in her home town went out of business in 2007. The book store followed a few years afterwards.
We would definitely move back there and I would hate not having a game store as a social gathering place.

I'd do it in the middle of Atlanta, GA. There's a few colleges here, so there should be enough of a market for nerdy stuff.
I'd probably use some of my winnings to open that brewpub I've always wanted to run, and then could truthfully say, "I own a bar."
I'm an advertisement for getting people who aren't very good at math to buy lottery tickets and support the state.
I'd say I run a private philanthropic foundation.
Or that I was a professional gambler. I mean, my income would have come from gambling, after all...
I would also buy the arcade in Chinatown in NYC and return it to its former glory.
After giving it more thought, I'd fund a rescue for abandoned dogs, complete with veterinary services offered to the community for free. But I'd do it from my secret lair.
I'd pay my old football club enough money that they could lower the membership fees for anyone below the age of 18 to something low enough anyone could pay it.
I run a company which professionally run Cthulhu Mythos larps holidays. Amongst other things, we run a chaosium licensed 'horror on the orient express' game, that runs in a number of locations across europe, including with all the travel being in historic fashion...*trail off into sales pitch*
I would tell people I earn my living translating user manuals for whitewares. If that draws followup questions, they REALLY want to talk to me.

Careful. The freezophiliacs are a strange and peculiar folk.
Professional illegitimate rodent and generator of philosophical gibberish.
Nobody's posted this yet?
Cthulhu Cultist.
To be serious....
I don't gamble so I'd never win the lottery, but if I suddenly came into a massive windfall of cash via inheritance or lawsuit or something, I'd just tell people I do what I do now (data entry clerk for an accounting firm) as I wouldn't be quitting my job.

I had a couple of friends who did that after they got married. The husband had managed to create a pretty succesful software company that mostly ran itself and together decided to open a FLGS that, although expected to at least cover its costs, was not intended to be a profitable business, and instead was worried solely about getting people to have fun.
We gathered there every week, running demos, boardgames, wargames, chatting, even celebrating some birthdays and teaching new people about the hobby. It was one of the most entertaining gaming periods of my life.
Saddly, after three years the couple divorced and decided to close down the shop. That day, I swore to myself that, if I ever have the chance to open such a shop without worrying about making money out of it but rather making it a congregation place in the likes of old FLGS, by God I'll do it.
