Real answer:

  1. Get out of debt
  2. Hold a few months worth of expenses in cash/easy access savings
  3. Maximize any yearly contribution to a tax free savings, investment, or pension account
  4. If there's still more left, open an investment account and buy into a world index fund like IWRD if you're in the UK

    I'll add:

    1. Before anything else, go out to eat or something to celebrate
    2. After 3, buy something permanent for the house both you and the GF (if she exists) have been wanting (TV, sofa, etc); this will serve as a tangible reminder that you were responsible with the winnings
