  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.

  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.
