I'd finance. Keep as much money in the bank and pay the monthly payments off with the interest earned
That plan would largely depend on the rate of finance that you got surely!
If you won lottery would you buy car outright or finance?

And how much interest you earn. But seeing as though this is a make believe thread, that's my idea

I'd wear the scruffiest clothes I could, grow a shaggy beard, then walk into some posh car dealership and ask to see their most expensive models, maybe even a test drive.
Then I'd smugly walk out when they told me to do one, and I show my titanium credit card to them.

I'd also get him to set up that sneaky scheme to own/register (or whatever it is they do) the car through a foreign intermediary so speeding tickets can't reach me.
So because you win the lottery proper money management goes out the window? ^^
I'd get a few business leases. What's the point spending say 300k on 4 cars, if you can only drive one at a time... would make more sense to get 4 on a business lease and switch/choose every few years?

Well you don't need money management if you win big on the lottery. Only a handful of idiots have wasted the lot on drugs and car smashing.
Have you any idea how much it costs to run something exotic when its leased through a business? It becomes liable for company tax at comedy rates for a start.
If you have significant amounts of cash kicking around just buy it outright. However you buy it, somebody has to buy the car outright - if you lease then the lease company buys it outright, you always end up paying for the depreciation some way*
*Except sometimes when manufacturers back cheap leases to get rid of old stock or to generate future used stock.
I have to say if I won the lottery I wouldn't buy my dream car straight away. I would like to work my way up, if you understand where I'm coming from.
Start with RS clio then Focus ST/Megane R-- then M3/C63 AMG then Porsche GT3 RS.
Think that way I wouldn't get bored

Was this just said? Or did I dream it...

I'd fail at that to be fair. I'd probably just drive down the road to Douglas park BMW/Bentley and take away a 458,MC12-4C or a 911 Turbo and head up north via lovely roads. Most likely die on the way too.
I'd just short-term lease whatever I wanted and then keep upgrading or chopping and changing every year - not like you really have to worry about the 1st year depreciation really.

Want a new car? No worries, just swap it out at any time with minimal fuss

Yes i think i would like to work my way up as well. Besides, i would probably kill myself if i went straight into a 458! 
I have always loved the look of the RS Megane 250 so maybe start with that. Then a TTRS, then an R8/GTR, then onto a 458/Carrera GT
