"Windfall" - what I would do if I won the lottery

Now, I have yet to see the show Windfall, but apparently it has Luke Perry in it and it has something to do with a bunch of friends winning a huge lottery jackpot together. That being said, there a few things I would do with a decent lottery winning, right off the bat:

-pay off my student loan debts
-pay off my credit card debts
-pay off my parents' debts and make sure they're comfortable
-start a educational savings bond for my nephew
-TRAVEL EVERYWHERE AND ANYWHERE
-take a year off to read every and any book I've been wanting to read
-throw the world's biggest party for everyone I know
-invest some of it
-make sure I have enough to live on
-give the rest to charity

In short, I'm used to living on practically nothing. It's not really the material goods that I crave. I don't want a private jet or a sports car (maybe a smart car or a Vespa) or a mansion; I just want enough to live on for several years so I can work on my writing without having to worry about my finances, and maybe enjoy the finer things in life. Nothin' fancy.
