Real answer:

Get out of debt
Hold a few months worth of expenses in cash/easy access savings
Maximize any yearly contribution to a tax free savings, investment, or pension account
If there’s still more left, open an investment account and buy into a world index fund like IWRD if you’re in the UK

I’ll add:

Before anything else, go out to eat or something to celebrate

After 3, buy something permanent for the house both you and the GF (if she exists) have been wanting (TV, sofa, etc); this will serve as a tangible reminder that you were responsible with the winnings
