Sad but true that most people who win these things blow it. There are exceptions but they usually have good advice from a financial advisor and an attorney. Simple advice would be to take 10% if what’s left after taxes for immediate enjoyment but make zero major changes in your life for at least a year, invest the rest in market funds and never touch the principal once it’s invested. A certain amount of discipline is required for that approach.
