I was going to say a house by the sea… but it probably wouldn’t be my first purchase. Instead it would likely be:

Pizzas
A salad
Booze
A video game
Clear my own debts, while also setting aside money for friends and family’s debt.

Yours is the one reply that actually answers the question. A house, debt, etc would not be the first thing you bought. I'd probably buy a ton of stuff from my (local equivalent to) Amazon wishlist as a first thing.

Yeah, I was trying to think about my immediate reaction. After the shock, denial, and a bucket load of swearing, I’d want to celebrate.
