I'm sure they don't just hand you a check for $100 million in some lottery center place...all sorts of lawyers probably have to be involved and I believe you get a bank transfer into multiple accounts.
Although I definetly would immediately change my phone number and give it only to my family members and maybe a couple close friends who I would have picked up anyway from whatever job they were working and told them to come with me and don't worry about nothing. Borrowing a page from Jay-Z's book of rhymes it would apply to some of my closest buddies...
"Bleek could be one hit away his whole career, as long as I'm alive he's a millionaire.."
- Establish a few sturdy businesses (maybe some franchises, bars, etc) and invest most of the money so as I could live very comfortably on some of the profit alone each year.
I could vision reading a story of a drunk who wins $100 mill drinks a bottle of jack to celebrate and somehow spends it all in one drunken day/night.
Usually you see the winner on TV and in newspapers with a big fake check. I don't want anyone recognizing me from that.
Your name will of course be released and in the records. Can't get around that. You can change your name to make yourself a little more difficult to find though. It could cut down your spam/junk mail/solicitor calls a bit.
I'd have to close down my myspace page also, to save my friends the trouble.
Obviously if I'm driving around in a Ferrari it won't be impossible to find me. So, you can't really go anywhere in a car like that. It would be just drive it around some the come back home and make sure nobody is following you, then park it in the garage. Then when you need to go somewhere drive something anonymous like a Honda Accord or something.

Damn, that's a great idea. Okay, that, plus a huge-ass house, an Aston Martin DB9, an Audi RS6 Avant, a Ferrari F430, and a huge donation to Harvard Law.
edit:
well, I thought i remembered a thread like this.

ooooh, and a small army to steal JayMassive's island from him once he clones enough dinosaurs for me to play with.
Holy thread resurrection, Batman!
I would rather get a Bentley and be driven around by a chauffer. Who wants to deal with traffic?
And if I need that adrenaline rush, I'll hop on the jet and have the pilot nosedive.
10 kilos!
Ok... probably a condo or a house with a garage (current doesn't have one, very annoying).

Donate 10%, buy an established, profitable business, hire someone who knows what they're doing to run it, invest the bulk of the rest, and take care of those I care about. Oh, and Colts jerseys for all ATOTers!

This has always been my first consideration. I don't know if they would let you do the ski mask schtick because often they maintain the right to reproduce your image &c. for promotional reasons. But, certainly a professional disguise (theatrical prosthetics, cosmetics, hair, and costume) is in order. Done right it would be better since it precludes any controversy or extra attention. One sticky wicket is that your name would be public knowledge and therefore likely your true image available. So what is to be done: change your name before making the claim and hope it is not researched? Then you could change it again (perhaps back to original).

I'd buy a very nice apartment in each of the following 4 cities: Vancouver, New York, Paris, and Tokyo.
