I would build an add-on to the house we are currently building. In this add-on would be 2 stories, which a spiral staircase in the middle would be leading to the upper area. The floor would be permeable so any spills would be collected and deposited outside into a large holding tank for watering the garden (all excess fish tank water wasted would be used the same). on the roof would be my eco-roof style garden with flowers and shrubs (things that don't need much maintenance). I would have rain water collection systems all around it as well and a gutter system that would be hooked into it.
On the main floor would be my largest display tanks. I would have large tanks (I could try and predict the size but I will just say 1000g + each. I would love a large african tank... a large peacock tank... and then single species SA/CA cichlid tanks (festae, dovii, etc). All tanks would be equiped with drip systems and an overflow that ran to my collection system. With all these tanks, there would a large amount of humidity.. so the upstairs would be large tropical bio-types with various species from each type. Each biotype would also have a large pool with native fish and a place for some reptiles to drink etc.
Now... how the eff will I maintenance all these? Well the fact is I wouldn't (would definitly be "assisting") but I would hire someone to live on the property that just wants to dedicate himself to the maintenance of these tanks. This person would live like royalty.
Now I am not selfish... so this aquarium would be open to the public on certain days.
There you have it. My ridiculously impossible dream 8)

but i didnt buy any tickets today so.... yeah, if i won it. i would give a million to each friend and family, build a big fish room so i can have all my tanks in there plus MORE.. and live in in the fish room. OH and donate to this site to!! 
I would buy regular 300 gallon tanks and stock them with cichlids. The bigger u go the more it cost and a lot of people who win these things end up bankrupt. Guy in my town won 10 million 5+ years ago and is now broke and lives with friends. Lots of fun if ya ask me. Ill take a house 5 300 gallon tanks and take care of family
