Depends on the amount, but if its really big, I'd do a lump sum and invest a good portion of it. A good chunk would go to building something like this;
Yeah damnit, I want a folly and not one built on some frigg'n hill either, I want it on just enough dry land to surround it with a wall and a nice barbican with a drawbridge.
Well maybe with enough extra space for a trebuchet would be nice as well.
Mainly so I could do this; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V7zbWNznbs

Yearly payments
I have most everything I want.
20 years worth of payments would allow me to retire today.
No income tax, but there is a 10% lottery tax.
.
I would probably hire a pretty young maid

Quit my job.
Go back to school.
Pay off my family's and in-law's debts.
Buy a 2nd home near my in-law's in Florida.
Add on to my current home.
Buy lots of guns and ammunition, spend more time shooting... actively compete in USPSA.
Buy a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Islander... yeah, I'm easy to please.
Edit: oh yeah, and travel too. I'd love to go see Europe... but I'd do it on my dime and not run up a bill for US taxpayers.

That's part of the deal on most of them. When you accept the money, they have the right to use your name, image, likeness, etc. in tv commercials and other media outlets to promote the lottery.

Yeah, people say that money can't buy happiness. Now being broke usually makes you sad, but buying lots of expensive things doesn't make you happy either. I think money can buy happiness, but you've got to buy the right things. I don't need a $600,00 car or even a $60,000 car. I'd rather spend money living life rather than live life spending money.

Not a problem. Just have them take a picture of you as "another of Stig's (American) cousins". Some say he...
