On a more serious note, long term investments are usually the best idea. Some options pay quarterly dividends, so you can get a "check" each quarter. Although, it's best to reinvest your dividends for the long term.
The next option is usually to get your housing or land situation sorted out. That doesn't mean buy up into something you won't be able to upkeep down the road.
It's hard to say without knowing more, but that info should probably be directed toward a financial advisor.
Remember, it's a once in a lifetime blessing, so it should serve you for a lifetime. Stay away from volatile investments and or flashy purchases like a new truck.
