I'd do the following, in order.
Give 10% to the church.
set aside enough for taxes that I wouldn't get in trouble come april
Pay off all of my current debts (and never borrow money again)
buy a nice but conservative home in West Salem ($220-$250k)
Set aside enough to make sure that my fiance and I have a wonderful wedding and honeymoon next spring.
Spend 10-20k on toys
Put whatever is left in good growth stock mutual funds and leave it alone

Pay off my debts, and those of my sister and mother.
Put about 100k in the bank for my nephews college fund.
Do a few other charitable things with about 50k.
Roam around southern/central Africa for a few years and maybe spread some money around there charitably while taking pictures and enjoying the wildlife.

Sell my house, which is worth a drop in the bucket compared to a million bucks. Then, spend about three months visiting every state in the contiguous states on my way to my new home somewhere on the central Oregon coast.
On second thought, I guess I'd GIVE this house to a relative who could use it.

A million isn't much. I'd invest it and keep working my current job...but live a little more with the returns to supplement. The only major purchase I'd make would be some land for the kids and I to tear up on ATVs and/or camp on. Maybe a different house but I really couldn't see leaving my awesome neighbors.
Who am I kidding?! I'd make some kind of quick return investment. Blow some cash at the casino. Build a big-... cabin in the middle of nowhere so I can rev the crap out of the hot rods without .....ing neighbors. Then I'd build the biggest vape monster PV and vape myself into the 4th dimension.
Oh...and buy some land to tear up with an H1 or surplus tank. The kids would have a blast!

What? I'd drag em to the casino. Teach em some Black Jack....maybe throw some dice...LOL
I think I would pay off my house.
Then geez...I could help soooo many people !!!

First priority... getting set up so I could go off the grid: buy a piece of remote property, plant a garden, build a barn, the whole nine yards.
I'd like to have solar collectors, maybe a windmill or two, a stockpile of seed and a handful of chickens. Any leftovers would go into investments, or a hole in the ground. The point being that even if we ran out of money, we'd be able to provide for ourselves from our own land.

I'd pay off bills buy a condo in Seattle give some to charity not sure which one pay for school and invest what's left if any and not necessarily in that order.
I'd pay all the bills (biggest being my school loan)
Buy a nice but modest house in northern Arizona somewhere.
Buy 2 new vehicles (a BMW SUV for me, and a truck for my hubby)
Ensure enough $ set aside for private education for my daughter.
Invest the rest.

Not a totally original answer here. Pay off school loans, bills, get a newer used car and van, give some to my dad to help with mom's end of life bills, then look at doing a major overhaul of the house we are currently in.
Set my friend up with a bunch of juice and 2 new starter kits so that she would be set and not have to panic about it all of the time.
We would have to wait and see what would be left after that. If there was any, invest most if not all of it so that they boys could have some upper education money.

I'm with Stephra on this one!
Pay off the bills, build an underground home and get off the grid. Become more self-sustaining.
Teach others to be good stewards of the earth.
Give generously to my favorite charities (no-kill animal shelter in our area) and invest in educating the children of our future.
