You might try Clark Howard. He has a financial advice radio show every day and a website http://www.clarkhoward.com
Listening to today's show he mentioned a pretty good beginer's course on financial planning and investing available at http://www.latimes.com/money
For legal stuff I've always turned to Nolo. They have a good website and a series of legal books on various topics. Check out http://www.nolo.com
While the last two sites won't help you put a team together it will give you some idea of what to think about or ask and help understand what professionals you do hire are saying. Clark's site or calling him yourself might give you resources on putting together a team.
To answer your question generally with a check, well actually probably a wire transfer, of that ammount the bank has to be willing to accept it. They very well may, but you can't just expect the money to pop into your basic consumer checking account. You'd have to ask them first. And depending on the size of bank they probably have some financial planning services to offer.
When I win I'll definately try to learn as much as I can on my own. Maybe it's my untrusting nature but I've heard of too many stories of untrustworthy financial people so even if I wasn't planning on managing the money on my own I'd still like to know how it all works and how to do my own evaluations on their investing decisions.
