I would use it for a downpayment on a new truck as ours is dying the slow death and travel to North Carolina then save the rest for a rainy day.

I would help my kids with student loans first. I would give something to charity but would have to ponder what one. if I even win. I know that takes care of the full amount after taxes but if I had anything left I would love to go to Tuschany Italy. Its a dream that I know I will never be able to afford.

I think I would have to pay income taxes and deduct my monthly Social Security Checks from it until it ran out. Isn't that required when your income exceeds a certain dollar amount as set out by Social Security Guidlines? Maybe it's not such a good idea to do the AARP Sweepstakes entry everyday???
Depends on the amount received. First of course I would pay off my mortgage, and remodel. Pay off school loans, children's and grandchildren, and put money aside for college needs. Help my children some and grandchildren pay off debt. Help my church and organizations I believe help society. Put some aside for my later years and travel a little.
