Financial dilemma: Mortgage payoff vs. VOO investing

Hi everyone. I'm genuinely curious to hear what others would do in this situation.

Let's say your primary mortgage has a remaining balance of $1 million at a 5.2% interest rate. If you received a windfall, would you:

  1. Pay off the mortgage, or
  2. Invest the money in the market instead?

I'm interested in hearing the reasoning behind your choice and what you think would be the more advantageous approach
