The first thing she should do is talk to a good financial planner. Invested wisely, that $175 K can provide for her kid's college and her retirement.

That is great.  Like Mike says, encourage her to run, not walk, to a good financial planner before she spends a cent. |

Congrats t your friend, that is very cool.
Invested wisely that will become lots of coin.
But as I age, I now think she should party like a rock star, you're only 22 once, enjoy it while you're at your best. 
oops didn't read the single mom part. Invest that $$ for the kids future. damn, single and 175k to play with would be a blast.

If I was single and 22 and won $175K, I would find me an 18 year old that could suck the chrome off a bumper hitch and....

She's 22. Invest a $175K nut now, and she should do just fine with it by age 62.
Give me the same stake and 40 years to play, and I guarantee I'll do fine with it. |

but...you said college for her 2 kids AND retirement. 175 invested wisely might cover college, but little left over for retirement |
