If you won the lottery, would you still work?

Question

If you won the lottery, would you still work even if just to keep yourself occupied? Or would you immediately quit and retire to a life of luxuries and careful investments?

If I won the lottery, I'd still work but I'd find an easy job just to keep myself occupied and not bored at home doing nothing. Since the job I choose will be very easy, it won't pay well but that's the thing, I wouldn't need the money anymore anyways.

What would you do?

Answer 1

BUY MYSELF A THOUSAND GERBILS!

(I ASKED ABOUT GERBILS AND IT DIDN'T POST FOR SOME REASON SO I'M TESTING...TESTING...)

Answer 2

h**l no, money changes people. If I won the lottery I would become one of those bitter billioinaires who care about nothing but their money.

Answer 3

h**l no!!!!!! I would read, workout, and relax for the rest of my life

Answer 4

I think I would keep on working but less hours,be with my family more. Travel with them. I also would set up a scholarship account to help kids who don't have money to go to school. Spend some time to work as a volunteer. Pay off all of my debts and my family debts. Invest. invest.

Answer 5

h**l no!  I'd become a writer or musician or something like that, but as far as a job?  No way.

Answer 6

It would be a full time job managing 300 million.

Answer 7

I wouldn't work for another person, but I would work for myself by setting up a charitable organization with part of my lottery winnings and then finding worthy causes to give the money away to.

Answer 8

I'm retired so if I won the lottery I wouldn't work, I might volunteer for good causes.  Mostly I'd travel work on my hobbies, relax, and read all those letters from relatives I never knew I had.

Answer 9

I'd still work, just in case I blow all the money on something stupid, like most lottery winners do.

Answer 10

I am a flight attendant. There is no way I would continue. I would do charity work and probably run my own foundation.

Answer 11

I would never again do ANYTHING that even resembled work.

I can think of plenty of things to occupy my time besides work.  Bring on the winnings!!!

Answer 12

I would probably use the money for artificial insemination (which can get super expensive).  Barring that works out the way I hope I would have children and be a stay at home mom with them for awhile if I could pull it off financially (which I could if i won the lottery).  I'd probably do that.  Eventually I  may go back to working in a day care (when my kids go to school) b/c i loved it, but I had to quit b/c the money was so terrible.  

But BEFORE any of that I would travel with my girlfriend.  I lived in London for awhile and traveled and it was the most amazing time of my life.  I would love to do that with her this time.

Of course buy a great house, boat, vacation home and take care of my parents and family.  

Answer 13

I would still work......just not as much.

Answer 14

Self employed and foster carer.

I would like to get a big home with enough land to grow own veg and keep some chickens ans some other small animals.  Then I could foster children and provide a really great experience for them.

I would also like to be part of the comunity and make a community area available to those that need it to help them build a good family life and employ people to make that possible.

Answer 15

If I won the lottery I'd give half of it to my mother to pay off her bills and whatever else.

I'd probably have a little side job so I don't get bored.

Answer 16

I'd still want to work or I'd take up a ton of hobbies.

With the money i don't need, I'd give to charities and such, try to make a fundamental difference in other people's lives (well, spend more time doing so anyways.)

Oh to dream....

Answer 17

depends how much i won..

and if it was enough.. i would not work

i would travel!  :)

Answer 18

I may actually start working. I'm currently unemployed, however.

Answer 19

I would work at getting children opportunities not available to  them otherwise.  

Answer 20

If I won the lottery I would fund a movie I want to make. So, in essence, I would give myself my dream job... acting!

Answer 21

With 1 million I can spend about $900.00 ever week for 20 year. And you said $300 million.

NO I won't work its time to celebrate and live life. A person don't really need more that 4 million dollars to live large except if you are in big business.

Answer 22

If I won that much money I would have people working for me. lol.
