I'd keep half, split a fourth between family and friends, and a fourth to establish a charitable foundation. After some travel with my wife, paying off all my debt, buying another house and a couple cars, yeah....I'd probably open a room, but NOT to work there. 
I would buy / build the pool hall / sports bar / club of my dreams, and hire a manager to run it. It would be something that’s a cross between a pool hall and Buffalo Wild Wings.
Besides all of the standard stuff you’d expect, on the pool side I’d have:
• An arena area for 2-4 tables
• Internet table cams for the big action tables
• Internet bar, stage, and dance floor cams
• TVs at every pub table that allow Picture in Picture viewing of
TV and Internet cams of your choice.
• I’d have large wall projection system for tournament boards
• Internet site for results, pictures, advertising, etc.
Did I mention this place would be huge?

After taxes, I'd have just about $55,000,000 left...
Get a better accountant, get an attourney (shuddering at the thought), call my broker, and get a visectomy....buy a few cool cars/trucks so I have a few toys....have a modest house built, with some land, and a shop....with a pool table in it, of course....and a room in the house with a snooker table and another pool table, bar, and stuff....OK, so all that cost about $3 mil, well dressed....
Next, hook up a corporation for businesses....think a pool room might not be a great investment, so if it could almost break even, that would be cool.....next, an off-road shop....those two would be fun, I could employ my friends, and they'd be break even opportunities/tax writeoffs.....next comes some investing in real estate/business, and probably my own strip club to make some real dollars....probably $25 mil total, in all that....
I'd give away a ton.....cars, money, all kinds of stuff to all my friends and family, charities...$10 mil
$10 mil in investments/market....
$5 mil in Swiss bank account....they say it in the movies, so it sounds good, but no real research around this....
$2 mil in accessible, spending accounts....need some money to live off of
Great question, thanks for bringing this up....good to dream a little.....statistically, I think like 3 in 4 people that win lotteries actually file BK within 3 years....I'd probably hire some type of cash management firm to verify my business choices above.....

I'd build a big church-type building with stained glass windows featuring my pool heroes. It would have about a dozen tables, a huge bar, a card games area, domino tables, chess tables, backagammon, and darts. I'd hire young nubile accolytes to serve drinks to thirsty congregants. I'd call it "The Temple of Spherical Iniquity". Only "church members" could enter the "Temple" grounds.

Pay off all the IPT players and make it a REAL big money tour until it was profitable or I ran out of money. I would also hire, Professor R.H. Gilmer, Southern Billiards-Starkville, MS, to run it. No one on the planet runs tournaments better or treats his players better.

Maybe --Shorty--
With that much money maybe you could pay FL to marry Shorty and adopt Cue Slueth as a child and move in beside Williebetmore. Sorry Willie I guess you will have to move down south. Leonardbreakup said:

Bill,
I like you
Poolplayer to the very core.
If I was to win the lottery I would buy a mssive space possibly 3 floors and here's the way I would lay it out:
Floor 1: A nice Long Bar, 6 private Rooms, 10 tables well spaced out (all brunswick metros.
Floor 2: An area with another bar and satelite tv to watch all the major 9 ball tournaments, another 15 metro tables and a snack bar.
Floor 3: 10 more metro tables, a seating area with a log fire surrounded by Photos of all the greats such as strickland, bustamante, reyes and hohmann etc.
Each level would be completely carpeted and have a downloadable jukebox.

A hundred mills not enough. I want 240 million. Then I would build or
buy my dream home. In the bar i would have a 9 ft. Diamond table.
In the library a 9 ft. Olhausen.
To my cue collection I would add the nicest Kersenbrock, Hercek,
Gina, Szamboti, Schick, and Searing I could find ( for starters).
My own pool room? Maybe after a year of traveling.
Or open up a club featuring top notch Americana acts.
Jim Lauderdale, Lucinda Williams, Mary Gauthier, Steve Earle.
Who cares if it makes money?

I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Well, not all chicks, but the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Name that flick!
Trust me. It's fun. And you don't have to be a millionaire. Just date
a wild bi chick.

Me either. I really zone out for a couple of hours every morning.
And, if my Exec Dir isn't Lumberg, I'll eat my hat.
