Practical advice aside, take a step back and bask in the pleasure of the wonderful, unambiguously lucky thing that's happened to you. It's OK to feel excited and happy about all the freedom and peace of mind you now have. Loved one gets sick? You don't have to think about money. Kids need something? It's taken care of. Getting 8 million dollars out of thin air is amazing and you shouldn't let your anxiety and self doubt stop you from feeling happy for a while. You can figure out what to do with it later. Just enjoy having it in your checking account and looking at it every few hours in your bank's app. Buy something frivolous that costs $10,000 that you've always wanted. Give each of your family members a great gift. Donate $10,000 to something that matters to you. Let yourself spend $40,000 or so to celebrate, and then be responsible with the rest. Congratulations, my friend!
