Would you rather get rich after decades of hard work or just hit the Lotto one day?

Question

This is a philosophical question. In this scenario, it is predetermined you will be rich with decades of hard work. Say you inherited some factory that makes $X a year.

Answer 1

Hit the lotto. But if I could get rich by working for decades I would be fine with that as long as I enjoyed the work I was doing.

Answer 2

not only hard work is important for being rich, luck is also involve very much without which one cant be rich or wealthy what ever you say.

Answer 3

Money doesn't solve all the problems and it brings its own as well, so if I worked all my life and became rich at the end, it wouldn't be a benefit to me and it would burden my children.

If I won the lotto then I would have all my problems still (except my bills) and all the hassle of having money.

I would rather do my job which I enjoy, retire comfortably and leave a little for my family.

So, the answer to the question would be neither.

Answer 4

I'd prefer to be given something rather than work for it, but the chance of that happening is not worth holding my breath for.

Answer 5

Hard work does not promise wealth to all at least not in the form of money and monopolies. The lottery would provide a base to build a dream to live.

Answer 6

I am not picky so rich either way will do.

Answer 7

WORK

Answer 8

I really don't care how.

But I don't by lotto tickets, so I better get to work.

Answer 9

I've been around long enough, to h**l with the morals of the story!  Let me hit the lotto,..and now!  *knocks on wood*.

Answer 10

Lotto, so I can enjoy it while I'm still young and adventorous!

Answer 11

I think your choice of options is very limiting, so I'm going to add a third one.  I would rather get rich by having fun with my creative energies, and even if I didn't make it to rich, I would have had fun and explored that part of my creativity.  Hard work is too much like...well, you know, work, and the idea of toiling away to get rich just doesn't do much for me.  If I should win the Lotto, that wold be just great, but I'd rather put my eggs in the basket that says "creative fun."

Answer 12

just hit the lotto
