    Pay off bills.

    Set some aside in an interest bearing account etc so I can have some return off of it.

    Help my brother and his fiancee get back on their feet again, as well as my parents.

    Fix up our house and sell it then buy a larger one so we have room for my parents.

    Donate some to a charity(ies)

    Travel.

    pleased to say we have no outstanding debt except our car payment :)

    1) Buy a new house with my dream kitchen and a nerd cave for the husband
    2) Buy a horse or two, some dogs, and necessary care equipment
    3) Put the rest into savings and live off the interest.

    The OP said "you TAKE HOME" $1 million...so I think she meant that you actually "have" that much....

    One million dollars is about the inflationary equivalent of winning at the $64,000 pyramid.

    ^^ This. I assumed you won much more than that, but had a million left after taxes.

    ok - so half goes to taxes for unearned income.

    pay off my mom's house & my bills - buy and fix up a used RV and a truck i can fix myself - take to the open road for a month. i can probably stretch it for that.

    but i this is why i don't buy a lotto ticket for less than 100M.

    Whether it's a million or a third of a million, I'd still invest it. Wouldn't touch a dime. I'd rather sit on a ton of money than sit on a ton of things that the money bought.
