The aim being to either make money in an interesting way or the money be spent on such a great experience that it would be worth spending it.

Let me answer in keeping with the prestige of this section called philosophy.
Firstly, I wouldn't invest it - future is always uncertain.
I wouldn't spend on myself - that would be really selfish and also foolish because that wouldn't boost my ego any bit.
I wouldn't spend it on my family for I would not want to raise their expectations to an extent I can't meet in future.
I wouldn't spend on others lest they should laugh behind me saying what a fool I am.
I wouldn't donate it either since these days everyone believes that donations are made with an angle, an agenda, a hidden purpose.
Well, where does that leave me? Perhaps it means that a philosopher should have no money, for he knows not what to do with it.

To start up my own company. That could go in as my investment to get the company up and running and then I would like for additional investments from friends and faimilies...
Ideally I would like to buy and sell, along with renting where appropriate, properties........both in the UK, although I think the general opportunities to make large gains are falling, along with overseas. Clearly travelling to Spain, France and some more far flung places in the increasingly popular Eastern European Countries would also be a great perk to the job.....
Being your own boss, travelling, and hopefully making some money would be great. Unfortunately it is very true that money breeds money - and therefore the lack of £200k is my downfall!!!

Property is probably the safest bet, but not necessarily interesting... I would rather buy a slightly bigger home with a slightly smaller mortgage. Then with the rest my partner and I could have a year off, he could focus on acting and I could write the novel I've always wanted to. Even if nothing came of it, at least you would know that you had tried.

Personally I would not be able to invest it for at least a year since I'd be laughing demonically for all that time.
Then I'd have everybody who's pissed me off recently slapped right around a supermarket car park. Twice.
Actually I think I'm going to need another 200,000.

We would buy a bigger house, we would enjoy the room and the kids will get more money when we kick the bucket, both aims fulfilled.

Actually, I wouldn't invest it. I would use it to ay off my morgage and debts and have enough money left over from my pay check each month to live very comfortably.

I would spend the money by taking my family to the grave of my younger brother, their uncle who they never knew, in Perth, West Australia; and their expatriot family.

If you were living on your income BEFORE you got the money enjoy it doing whatever you like but do it now.
When you are old - like me - you realise you should have enjoyed life more not sat on a nest egg.
