For me, the first thing I'd do is clear my family of all debts(or whatever financial issues) there is and then the second thing i'd do is buy a hundred Siomai for me to eat

What are you buying if you won One billion dollars?

              Clear all my debts, pay for my kid to go to any college he wants.
Renovate my house, or buy a new one. My house needs a lot of work but I've never had the funds to do much about it. There's electrical work and plumbing that needs to be done, roof needs to be replaced, hot water heater needs to be replaced, etc.
Open a computer repair shop. It's something I've always wanted to do, but computer repair for end users isn't as profitable as it once was.
Open a Retro Gaming & Computing museum. With every console you can imagine. And retro computers. And giant CRT televisions and monitors. With a giant collection of games. Everything is plugged in, with multiple controllers, ready to be played! I'd probably have a gallery of pinball tables attached as well.
I don't know the details, but I'd try to start some sort of e-waste program that tries to preserve retro tech rather than see it go to a landfill, or even rather than seeing it get scrapped for copper, etc.
