Honestly, I'd be more worried about the tax implications, whether or not to take a lump sum vs. twenty years of payouts, and getting it invested properly first. Then I'd worry about any bills I might have. Then I'd likely 'gift' a family member with money for a major surgery, pay for my parents house, set up a college funds for some young relatives, and take a few close ones on well-needed vacations to places they've always wanted to visit.
Then I'd come back and continue on as though I hadn't won the lottery rather than blowing through it all. The way Social Security is going, I'll likely need all the winning for retirement and eventual old-age needs.

Maybe you should get tickets to somewhere nice and bring your mother, father, sibling(s), and friends. Just have a huge vacation and everyone can get a happy time all at once.
Of course, it all depends on how much you won, but if I won a lot, then thats what I would do. Hope this helps.

I would buy myself a new house and depending on the amount probaly my parents to... My sister a cheap lil car (she is only 16). My brother I would have to say u know I really dont know. I would buy myself a new car. Give my grandparents money to get there business started back up and then after a couple of shopping sprees to fill my new house I would definently save everything that was left because you never know what life will bring to you!

I'd buy for the one in need the most FIRST. Actually, instead of buying, I'd give them the money to use where they most need it. Then each & every loved one would also share the same way. I would then take care of myself & get just what I needed. The rest I would invest to make more money & leave it to my children. I even have friends who are in need, they'd get something too, regardless of how much it was. All depends on the amt. won.

I'd buy a gift for my mom first because she's wonderful. She's always there for me and she's always wanted to take a well deserved vacation to London (she loves shopping there) so two first class tickets will be on the agenda.

If I won big I would buy my son a truck and a house. I would buy my daughter a new car and give her money to get another house or pay off the one she has and other bills.

My son - We would get him a Wii and then an iPod and then a DSlite - and that would probably shut him up for a good long time because his fondest with is that we will win the Lotto and buy him those exact items - he was just talking about it a few hours ago!!!

First, I would pay off all of my mother's bills and all of my grandmother's bills. I would buy my mom and grandmother each a new house. Then, I would buy my mother, my father, and my grandmother each a new car. I would pay off my dad's house and have his front and back yards redone with new grass. Finally, I would pay off all of my bills, buy a house, and a new car. I would pay for college, and invest the rest.
