I'm really, really curious about everybody's opinions on this. Say you won the lottery would you continue to work??? or would you retire to pursure a shuffleboard career among other things?? I would like to know everybody's thoughts on this subject to see if i'm in the minority.
If you won the lottery would you still work anyways???

My first reaction was 'nope' - I'd travel & spend a lot more time with my husband & daughter.
However:- I'm at uni studying history & if I get a PhD scholarship I would definitely continue on with that even if I won the lottery, cos I love it. But I guess the pressure would be off, & I wouldn't have to worry so much about getting a job at the end of it. I think there comes a point with any job you do, even if you love it, where a bit of time off would be great!

I certainly wouldn't work with a handsome sum in a bank account you can earn plenty of interest doing nothing, so I would spend my time travelling and studying interesting subjects and doing some charity for the poor.

Let me think about that for a moment.........
NO.
I would finish college however, just for bragging rights. After that I'd sell my house, buy a boat, and sail around the Caribbean for a couple years.

If I won the lottery I'd be able to afford to go to uni without making my family suffer financially, that would be great.
Afterwards I would probably look into starting my own business so I could work as much or as little as I liked.

No way. Never. I already have a nice loveaffair with my couch. If I won money we´d never had to be apart again. Lazy

Well, let me see, how much is the Grand Prize?? :-)
on the second thought I like what I do, but I'd definitely take a long, long holiday.

Somebody said that managing a fortune is a full time job. LOL
I'd prolly take classes, do volunteer work, travel, build and decorate the house of my dreams, and try to write a book (doesn't mean I'd ever really finish or that it would be good enough to publish, but I'd like to try). I think I could find more than enough rewarding things to do that didn't require going into a job every day.

Not 9 to 5, I would travel, buy a Barnes and Nobles Book Store, read every book I ever wanted to read in all fields of endeavors, help out some relatives and friends and the needy.
