Whichever you select, any physical or digital manifestations of it are removed from existence and they cannot be intentionally created, experienced or performed again. Everyone still remembers them however.
For competitive sports that means no more professional leagues, local casual games, or athletic competitions of any kind. You can still run to get places but would be physically incapable of racing someone intentionally for example.
For books, only books written for the sole purpose of divulging information with entertainment value not being a large factor stay. So non-fiction books like The Selfish Gene would also disappear as would textbooks where a lot of thought and effort was put into the reader enjoying reading the book.
Entertaining Videos include any video whose purpose is to entertain. So most YouTube videos, TikToks, Reddit videos etc. Purely informational videos like dry lectures and tutorials would stay.
For example, visual art and music, people can no longer sing, all paintings, sculptures, CDs, instruments, etc. disappear
Tabletop games includes card games, TTRPGs, board games and war games.
If you choose the perfect life, everything possible you want to happen in ways that couldn't be gotten with money will happen to you. For example relationships. You'll find the perfect person for you and they'll stay with you forever. Your family members you love will remain in perfect health and live to an old age. You have a solid group of friends that has time for you and have similar interests. If your dream job is one that couldn't be gotten through bribery and nepotism you get it. You will never have any health issues and live a long life. If you find your dream job you won't be fired from it. You no longer doubt yourself and are perfectly confident.
These are all examples and may not apply to you depending on what constitutes your perfect life.
Essentially if there's something that money cannot 100% buy related to you or the circle of people you know then you can get it. Yes world class healthcare can extend life but it can't guarantee health so that counts. But enough money can buy you plastic surgery to make you attractive so that wouldn't fall under something money can't buy.
The $10 billion is a lump sum given now and is tax free. You won it in a lottery that was announced nationally and has become international news.

The plane is going down. Both pilots are dead and there's something mechanically wrong with the plane that's causing it to be hard to fly/land. No one knows what it is yet. You know that the issue is something where the plane can be landed if the person can diagnose it and fly the plane accordingly or solve the issue.
The second year flight school student is an A+ student that's passed every test he's taken with flying colours but hasn't flown anything larger than a Piper Arrow.
The flight simulator enthusiast has 5k hours in Microsoft flight simulator and flies 737 predominantly. He has a $10k set up with the flight chair, yoke, throttles and pedals to mimic a 737. He mods it to get the most realistic experience for a 737 as possible.
The 80 year old pilot was a commercial pilot from the 60s - 90s and hasn't flown since. He's been in a few situations where there were mechanical issues he recovered from. He's doesn't have any medical issues that'd keep him from flying other than his age.
The guy whose special interest is plane crashes has spent 2 hours a day everyday for the past 5 years studying them, their causes and how to recover from them. He's not into flight simulators and has never flown a plane. He's has encyclopedic knowledge of 737 components though and the various maneuvers and strategies to recover from different problems.
Your current self gets sent with all your knowledge. You have a choice of one connection that regards you as a good friend of your choice. You have money equivalent to the richest person on the planet, but you don't have their responsibilities. You start out with a small house that contains the 50 books you chose, the contact info of your connection, locked chests with your money in it and some normal clothes of people at the time. You decide the country you get spawned into and immediately learn the language at the time and any languages aristocrats would be expected to know in the area.
The $1k USD is added to your bank account at the end of each month where you work full time according to the laws of your country. It increases with inflation. Your income isn't capped at this. You stop getting this if you stop working full time so when you're retired.
