Can't speak for everyone, but I'd buy some land out in the country, build a house with renewable energy sources, pay off all of my debts, and then hire someone to make me a lot more money. Set aside about 30 million for retirement, whenever I choose to do that, and use the rest to create some sort of legacy for myself. If I were so lucky, I think I would put my money to similar use as Hurley did in the flash sideways. I'd definitely love to become quite the philanthropist.
After I did that, just settle down in that house and follow whatever whimsies I had, and occasionally go on a trip to some exotic place.
However, before I do any of that, I'm buying a trip to space.

Not tell anyone and disappear. Start a new life in my log cabin out in the woods in a different state or country.

I'd tell my parents and I'd start a family with my girlfriend. But I'd have no problems leaving everyone else behind. I'd change my legal name too for added protection.

Books

My mind went to books as well. I'd just generally spend a long time reading and writing. I know 'books' is a stereotypical answer, but it's true in my case as well.
That'd leave a lot of money left over, though....ah, what the hell, I'd get a Tesla while I'm at it.

and bookshelves. Or maybe a mansion with a personal library.

Or a mansion for your personal library.

Also, a place to store said books.

NAWLEDGE. (and a Lamborghini)

Apart from making it so I can keep an income for the rest of my life?
Probably education, I would go to university and study for the rest of my life without having to worry about money.

Why do people give a person such a sour look when they say something like that instead of I would blow it on X or I would buy houses for my family. Like they give me a look like I just farted in an elevator.

They probably thought about it themselves and didn't mention it because they understood that's not what the question was about and feel a little insulted someone else went ahead and mentioned it anyways.
Or maybe they feel threatened someone got them back to reality.
Maybe they answered something ridiculous in order to not make it awkward for others (ie. Answering "tons of chocolate" instead of "donating to cancer" )
Too many options . Those would be my guesses though.

That would be hot.
1
Personally, drugs. A lot of them

straight up; i'd buy a growroom and hire a couple Mexicans to dry me some dank bud 😛

Nah, you'd have the money to hire Swedes, dude!

Something that'll keep me rich indefinitely

Index funds, a few bonds, buy a condo, etc.

Even at 1.5% rate, 500M cash is grossing you 7.5M a year, so you'd have to be a complete and utter idiot to not make that amount of money last for generation upon generation.
I don't know what I would do long-term, but short-term, say within a year and beyond paying off debt and spoiling the crap out of my mother and setting up funds for my nieces, I'd go to Nepal for a fairly long spell and continue what Sir Edmund Hillary, the first man to summit Everest, did, which is build schools and infrastructure for the Nepalese people.
4
Fucking traveling. Might buy an RV and travel the US. Buy a boat and go places. Oh and I'd probably go to college for the sake of actually learning shit than for economic purposes.

myself

Music and books. Maybe a new pair of climbing shoes, but that's just me.

Well...Let's say I won the 900 million, which would probably be 700-800 million when I get it. I would purchase several pieces of property, One in Washington, One in California where I live, and One on an island somewhere. Then I would design and build houses for each properties.
Then hire small crews to take care of each home. I would then spend my life with my wife exploring the world and working interesting jobs. Try and actually write a novel.

If being frivolous, probably something like this massive, nuclear-proof $17.5 million dollar underground bunker complete with four executive apartments, theater, library, etc.

First I would find a reputable financial advisor, and then get a separate financial manager. This is important because I would want to avoid having both in the same person as I'd prefer to avoid situations where my advisor uses my money to gamble on high risk/high reward investments. I would invest enough money that I could comfortably cover all my annual expenses, and travel as much as I want off the interest. I would also put a lot of money into a commodity like gold or platinum that would be able to somewhat withstand the crash of paper currency systems. I might get into angel investing if I found some ideas I thought were really cool, or fund research I really believe in.
Â
I'd buy a house big enough to accommodate all my friends and family. I would develop a massive personal library. I would buy some nice cars. I would donate large sums to various charities whose work I really believe in.
Â
I would also help out any extended family that was really struggling, while avoiding become a bank they could just come to and solve all their problems.
Â
I would make sure to set my parents up with a property for when my dad retires in their location of choice. My sisters would want for nothing.
Â
I would hire a personal trainer, and work on getting myself into shape. Then I'd travel the world and see everything I've ever wanted to see. I'd also buy full play sets of all MTG cards and try to get on the pro tour. And I'd take Go lessons from the best players in the world.

Buy expensive equipment for a bunch of cool interesting hobbies I will maybe use once.

This is my industrial loom I bought to make a pattern of cloth I wanted one time.
1
I would start off with getting some financial advisors and figuring out a few investment strategies to keep the money coming. I would also help my parents retire and then buy a nice piece of land somewhere and build a pretty bitchin cabin to live in. Freedom from the rat race at last.
2
I'd buy a house in a nice part of my city, then send a bunch more money renovating it to add secret tunnels, hidden basements and other cool stuff.
2
I would travel. I would buy a farm or a brewery. Go back to college and take whatever classes I find interesting. I would also probably do the nice car, boat, house, personal trainer thing.
2
Either my own space station or a sustainable floating library on the ocean that travels the world, spreading literacy everywhere. I'd also make Tombstone make their mini pizzas taste good again.
2
Living a financially independent life.
I can think of countless things I'd want, but if I really got the hold of a substantial amount of money I'd probably just by a house or apartment and do things, do things I wanted to do.
