I would need to do anything to stop getting it to my head, give all or at least 90% of it to my mom, and lead a stable life. It sound idealistic even for me, yeah, but I would want to be like that

Pay off some bills, and try to win another one so I can pay off the rest.
Start handing out money left and right to those in need, anonymously, of course. Humanitarian organizations, environmental organizations, you name it.
Keep my job, but not stress about being laid off ever again. I like my job right now. Pay off my house. And go on a couple really nice vacations a year.
Same. I honestly don't think I'd change my lifestyle much, other than not worrying about money. I could pay off my house and buy my mum a house, which would be nice. She's been renting for most of her life.
A lot of people say they'd quit their job, but I find my job interesting and I'd get bored without a regular thing to do every day that challenges me at least a bit.
First thing I would definitely wanna do is buy a nice house under my name (since I am still young) and move my parents and my older brother in with us so that we never have to worry about renting a home or apartment again. Obviously I'd have to do a shit ton of research into whether or not it's an HOA controlled area, because if it is, I ain't living there period.
Then I'd have to make sure we have it set up the way we want (without spending too much on furniture, decor, etcetera) so we could live comfortably enough.
After all that is done, I'd probably pay my way through college while also, knowing me, buying things I actually don't need (like art commissions and a fursuit for my fursona).
Although, I'd probably give a good chunk of the money to my parents so they can get rid of any debt they have (and some to my brother for the same reason).
Also, back on the house buying thing, there is a good chance I might just look for one directly next to an HOA operated area that they don't have any jurisdiction or control over in any way whatsoever just so that my house could be breaking all of their rules with nothing the shitty HOA could do without going to court and losing since they don't have rights over the house or land.
Tear the ticket up and throw it away.
My life is bad enough, without the lottery ruining it further with constant harassment, death threats, attempted muggings, entitled family demanding handouts, new "relatives" magically materializing from the ether, etc etc.
If I want to fuck my life up that badly, I'll start doing heroine and meth. I'd probably have better 10 year survival prospects, as well.
