If I won, I wouldn't be working where I am now. I would be doing something that I am passionate about, or something I can't afford to enjoy currently.

One job I would focus on is being a great father to my son, and future children, by making sure I have more time for them, but also making sure that I didn't squander the money into stupid purchases or investments that would mean they had nothing to build off of.

I think if my wife and I won $1M, I would make sure she would never have to work again. Make the money work for us. And I would look to working in a less hectic part time job. I'd also put some aside strictly for my children's education. They will still go to school, incase the money does dry up.

If we won $2M, I think I'd do the same, but invest more into our situation (house, lifestyle) while still staying responsible to/with the money.

If we won $3M, it'd be same as $2M, but I think that would open it up to me not working.

Anything more than that, I would look at traveling or whatever, but I think even $500,000 would change a lot of things.

As far as would I keep quiet? I would be cautious who I would tell, and I would try to take steps to ensure my family was safe. I would consider helping my family with their goals, as long as mine were taken care of first. I would go unlisted tho.
