I think about this scenario more often than is healthy. (And yet I rarely buy a ticket).
I'd take care of my Dad and Mom, maybe not personally, but at least financially...get them set up with some folks that would take care of them (I do not mean assassins).
A good detox facility for me...maybe a place where they'd put me in a medically induced coma for a month for my comfort.
I've designed a retreat "bunker" of sorts. A place somewhat off the beaten path in some woods, kinda Waldenish. Rickety old shack (think the first view of the house in The Evil Dead), but there's a hidden elevator...and sub-level is where it's all at. Small, concise, crisp lines--and that's just referring to the fleet of ladymaids

I would take the world out for milk and cookies,like Andy Kaufman..
I would pay off bills.my home. Invest in my King collections and help out others,bless others who are in need. Medical would be a big invest. Never realize how much it takes out of ones income until it hits home. So would help as many with medical as i could.
The Nameless
M-O-O-N - That spells Nameless
It may sound a bit phoney, but I have always had it in my mind that if I ever won the lottery, I would donate £1 million to 2 charities - cancer research, and the nspcc. After that, I would clear my mum's debts, then spend at least a month in each of the 3 places I dream of visiting - Alaska, Australia and Japan, before deciding which of those 3 to emigrate to.
Pay off debt's for immediate family and close friends.
Find a nice modest place to live.
Determine an amount to live on comfortably and take the rest and set up a foundation to charities that aren't widely known but do the best work.
And maybe buy a book or two...

I would pay my students loans.
I would get me some furniture a couch for example but I would have to move in a bigger appartment for that.(This made me giggle)
I would pay my parents depts and give some money to my brother.
Travel to the USA maybe immigrate.
But I would defenatly work at least half time.

Pay off house, find new house, rent bulldozer and demolish old house myself. I can't think of ANYTHING more satisfying than crashing thru the walls of our house with a bulldozer. Pay off all other bills, then take a huge breath of debt free air, I've literally forgotten what that feels like. Build a new house and pay for it with a briefcase full of cash, I'm thinking a million would cover my house, somewhere in Wyoming, Colorado, or Montana. I just want to be able to open my bedroom window and see the Rockies every day. Construct a shooting range complete with targets out to 1000 yards so I can start practicing with my rifle again. Just modest wants and needs
I'd love to find a restored 1968 Pontiac Firebird. British racing green. Then, give money to family. pay off all debts for family. Holiday to wherever and whenever. Make sure I don't run out of cash. EVER.

I would:
- Pay off my ridiculous amount of student loan debt
- Go on a long vacation to Europe
- Pay off my in-laws' house and bills
- Buy a house
- Start my dream job - a charity for animal medical procedures - it would stop people who can't afford their pets' surgeries from putting them to sleep

...settle all my accounts...buy Tracy anything she's EVER wanted, and I couldn't afford...make sure my family would be comfortable...and the rest would go to the Wounded Warrior Project, and to convert the local animal shelter to a "no-kill" facility...
This one.....1967 convertible. It's the year I was born
Or THIS one....the '67 Shelby GT500.....because it's Smokin'
This is a fun thread. I'd try to be wise and make sure I got it all properly in the right banks (I think you have to spread out amounts that big right?). Determine how much of it needed to be invested and where (I see myself working on this from a nice hotel room somewhere along the Gulf of Mexico). Dole out a healthy amount to my close friends and family. Then try to figure out some smaller type business to start...maybe a diner someplace where there aren't many or some kind of small resort for people to stay at someplace scenic. Something along those lines.
It might take more time to figure that part out, but I doubt I'd wanna travel a lot. I'd want to find some small place to develop I think.

I'd build a horse farm, take care of my family and make sure the grandkids had college funds.
Grandma and I are out in the car, and I stop at a C-store to run in for something to drink. She says, "Why don't' you get a lottery ticket while you're there."
I get my $1.49 vitamin water and a $1.89 chocolate chip cookie for her, because she loves them, and now I'm thinking, oh, no, which game was she talking about? So I say to the clerk, "I'm supposed to get a lottery ticket. I don't know which one. Give me one of each." I mean, it's only a couple of bucks, right?
The clerk comes back, scatters a smattering of tickets on the counter, and I got back a buck and change from my Hamilton. (For you non-US types, that's a $10 bill.) I was taken aback.
Powerball - $2.
MegaMilions - $1.
Colorado Lotto - $1.
Colorado "Cash 5" - $1.
Colorado "Pick 3" - $1.
I had no idea that the states were so heavy into running numbers games.

Was something like this mentioned in The Dead Zone - he wakes up from his coma only to find that lotteries are now legal and run by the government as well!
And that is EXACTLY where I got the phrase, loved it, and I've used it ever since. Thank you, Mr. King.
