| Admittedly charity wasn't one of my first thoughts, but I'd like to think I'd donate a portion to something like Doctors Without Borders or Mercy Corp or the Red Cross. |

Invest it and spend the dividend. It wouldn't change my life, that's for sure. But it would make for a slightly improved quality of life, notably for travel, which is a luxury that makes me very happy. I would not pay off the mortgage early. It's better to be slightly in debt if the debt interest is worth less than the interest I can get by investing my money. |

| Pay off the mortgage on my second house, do a couple of bathroom renos, and that would use it all. |

| Pay off student loans. Might buy a condo or little house in DC. If not, it would all go into savings. I'd consider spending some of it on a trip in another year or so. |

| I'd fix up my house a little and pay it off, buy a new car, spend about $10k on dumb stuff I want, and then save the rest. Without a mortgage payment, I could live pretty large. |

| I would retire and live some where cheaper, maybe? |

| I'd buy a green dress. But not a real green dress, that's cruel. |

| Sock it away. Pretend it didn't exist until we needed it for a crisis. |

Move to California. Have another kid. Save the rest for college funds. And, I'd continue to work....
