I would invest and save, although my life style would be dramatically different. I would buy a house, get new cars for my wife and myself. And of course pay off our student loans. But i would think that we would still work. We both lvoe our jobs and feel that we make a positive impact on society (shes in healthcare and I work for a non profit). Our vacations would be much better. Overall I dont think we would go too crazy, because we both want our children to have a better life than we had.
I heard a statistic on the news the other day that 60% of people who "hit it big" ($500000 or more), end up bankrupt within 5 years because they spend like there is no tomorrow.

i would set up a trust fund for my neice who is severly autstic and then i'd get a house and a range rover and than i'd save and invest did you see the story about the guy who won that huge power ball and now he's broke that would suck worse than anything... and than i would devote all the time i usually would at work to voulnteer at old age homes and childrens originations (i already do but only a few hours a week )

I would do both. I'd make sure I lived in a comfortable house, had enough money to travel. I would also invest some so that I could leave my grandkids with a head start on their higher education.

I would pay all of my bills / fix up the house / get a newer car / waste some on loose and hot women / invest to live on.

Half I'll invest and 1/2th part I'll save and rest I'll spend...

50% / 50%.
I would most definitely invest & save, but of course I would treat myself! pay bills, a little nip tuck :), and a trip to Europe visit my family over there :)
Ahh....(sigh)...if only...
