I would pay off my debts (currently running around 35k in student loans), my parents' mortgage (150,000 or so), buy myself a new house (or two, property in a college town is a good bet) and a new car, replace my SO's run down car, and invest the rest. I'd also set aside funds specifically for travel. Making my day-to-day life as comfortable as possible is important to me, though I doubt I'd splash out on a car fancier than a Honda Accord.
As for charity, I donate frequently. I would probably buy myself a better membership for Oregon Public Broadcasting and donate some money to the Alzheimer's Association, as well as large donations to my church and the English department at Oregon State.
