You inexplicably win $500,000. What do you do with it?

Buy/build a log cabin with enough bedrooms for my parents, two nieces, one nephew, and myself. Make sure it has roughly two to four acres of land.
With the land I'll setup a greenhouse and heated garage, both of which will be connected too the main house. The greenhouse will be large enough to cultivate spices, medical plants, and mushrooms, as well as work on an Aquaculture-Kratky hybrid system, which will have a fish farm stocked with either walleye, yellow perch, or sunfish.
If I still have money with all of this, I'll be purchasing equipment for blacksmithing/gunsmithing, setting up pigeon and chicken coups, and then just growing unique/not often found fruits and vegetables in North Dakota, and market them at the farmer coop. My hope is with some investment loans from the Bank of North Dakota, I'd be able to keep some of the $500,000 and use that for direct investments into setting up a farm and distillery. After all of this, we'll hopefully be making enough money without spending the $500,000 to put everything else away, and from that I'll start investing into local businesses and hopefully gain enough stakes to have some political power.
The political power is for... "What?" you may be asking. Realistically, I just want to establish my family name in North Dakota as an influential name. I'd also like to try and push legislation based around my beliefs of Guildism and Conservative Syndicalism.
Pay off my student loans, put the rest right into savings and try to forget it exists as I try to live life like normal. I don't have any desire to live extravagantly but it'd be nice to know that I don't have any risk of running out of money.
Spend it all trying to find out who gave me the $500.000
500k and weeks pass, but eventually, your investment pays off, and the overpriced detective you hired have sent you directions to where you may find this unknown benefactor.
You eventually find a small shack in a dark, foreboding forest. When you enter, you see nothing but a table with a letter resting on it.
You open the letter so see what's inside it: it's a document. And you quickly realize it's adressed to you.

Congratulations, your undying curiosity gave you nothing but a debt of a whopping $1,000,000.

I don't currently need tonnes of money so I'd probably just keep it as savings, knowing I won't have to worry about surviving university on a can of beans a day.

1: $25,000 goes into mechanically restomodding my pickup truck. That's my auto payments negated for the next 30 years.
2: Another $10,000 goes into a new engine/trans for my P71 Vic. Prolly gonna throw a flathead in it because fuck logic I want a car with a flathead in it.
3: My current wreck of a house gets bulldozed, something new gets built in its stead, something that wasn't wired by a drug-addled moron in the late 1970s. Part of this is also paying off the mortgage on the place.
4: Whatever's left probably won't be much, but itt'l do something nice for the RCs, the model railroad, and/or the gaming PC.
A fucking 50" 1080p TV? Are you shitting me? I mean ignoring the fact that you know, have half a million dollars to spend, 1080p on a 50"? Truly disgusting.

Invest it and laugh in compound interest.
I'd pay off my student loans like most of you chumps, along with any other debt I might have accumulated. Then I'd buy a property somewhere a bit outside of the city and let all my friends live there for free. It would be the finest anarchist commune/trailer park of crust punks the world has seen.
