My two cents:
First, Congratulations.
Second, breathe. Take your time. If you are still stressed about it, talk to someone IRL. It will really help to get the weight off your shoulder.
Third, beware of self-doubt. It sounds contrarian but I see lots of people who have a big win - money, beautiful girlfriend - start to doubt if they ever deserve any of it. They tend to go the "I am not that great. It is just a case of being lucky". And my answer is - You deserve it. You worked for it. You are awesome. Believe that.
Fourth, take your time understanding your options.
IMO, Bogle heads is a good start:
