My recommendation is to spread the money around into various options... Such as real estate (commercial and residential), buying cash flow positive businesses that need very little of your own time to run and also looking for new opportunities around every corner. I am not a big stocks guy because I consider it really like gambling, but then again every investment there is a risk. I prefer to invest in things where I have experience and knowledge in how the business runs...

Anyways just my 2 cents, I hope the next few mil get alot easier to make ;)
