Even in today's political climate I'm pretty sure the State of California will still be able to make your payments over 30 years. If you didn't spend it on anything else, you could make a start on that grocery chain. You'd probably learn a lot in the first few years, some expensive lessons. But having started small, you could put the next payments towards putting those lessons to work as you expand. Meanwhile, you're not investing any attention or risk into those funds. But you do hypothetical you!

Editing to add, the guy who actually won might be able to do some real good in his own neighborhood, which had that big wildfire.
