Isn't that a bit contradictory? After all, they (and the state) are taking a hefty chunk of it away. Not very kind, IMO.
I'm too young for half a mil to do much. Clearly not something like retire or even pay off a house (which I don't even own). Heck, $500K is just a down payment around here.
So I'd opt for something boring. Take the wife on a little vacation, and put the rest into investments, whether retirement, college savings, or said house downpayment nest egg.
