Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: lgemini on June 12, 2011, 09:42:10 am: I would be a volunteer, instead of working for money. I have to win over 1 million dollars for me to do this. I will have to do some traveling as well.

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Boise40 on June 12, 2011, 10:16:14 am: Nope, I would quit my job ASAP if I won the lottery because my job SUCKS!!!! It also depends how much money I won as well :)

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: smithjcsdfw on June 12, 2011, 10:50:27 am: I would continue working until they could fill my spot if I won enough money to support me in the manner to which I wish to become accustomed too. :)
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: sommap on June 12, 2011, 10:51:46 am: Absolutely! If I had won it while I was working, I would have quit. I am retired and know I do not get bored if I don't go to a job every day.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: articx on June 12, 2011, 10:56:26 am: I may work part time. The money won't last forever, and I can still make extra money while not working too hard.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: madeara on June 12, 2011, 11:00:45 am: Yes, I would work if I won the lottery. When I am working or volunteering, I feel as though I am making a contribution to society.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Cuppycake on June 12, 2011, 11:06:43 am: I really don't think I would change my day to day life all that much if I won. My mother inherited allot of money a few years ago and she stopped working for a year and traveled a little. But she is working again and hasn't changed much at all. She does have more to spend but it hasn't affected what she does or buys. I think she would be incredibly bored if she didn't work. I don't have a "normal" 40 hour a week job but I would keep working if I won. I like my job. :)
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Flackle on June 12, 2011, 11:38:55 am: I would take what little I would need to basic survival and invest the rest of it. Since I don't really have a job right now I would probably continue to not have a job.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: tigerlilly01 on June 12, 2011, 11:56:10 am: NO!! but I must say I don't work now ::) I have a back injury and I am trying to get disability but was turned down last month :( I am going to reapply. Thankfully I am married to a wonderful man that takes care of me so I don't have to work. I do all I can online to make some spending money ...just for me.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: JaiStarr on June 12, 2011, 12:07:48 pm: Depends on how much I win...if I was to get a job it'd be after I've enjoyed/saved/invested my money. It'd be part-time in something I absolutely LOVE doing.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Peds on June 12, 2011, 12:11:29 pm: I'd prolly take a looooong break from working, go on vacation, try things I've never done before because they cost money, then I'd head back to work and occasionally do things that require lots of money that I dont normally do

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: shepherdchik on June 12, 2011, 04:27:48 pm: I think I would take a leave of absence for a while but would have to get back to work after a while. It would be nice to want to work and maybe be able to do what I wanted to do, like my own business, instead of feeling like I have to work just to make paycheck to paycheck.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Annella on June 12, 2011, 05:13:39 pm: If I won a few million, first.....I'd pay my tithes, set up trust funds for my 3 grandsons. Donations would go to the Mission Field, Women's Shelter, and the Paralyzed Veterans. Then....travel the world the rest of my life with no financial worries.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: AnnetteDunn24 on June 12, 2011, 05:34:21 pm: I would definitely start my own craft business and live in a world of bliss. Of course I'd spend most of my time spoiling my grandkids & traveling - but then down to serious business when I'm home - crafts!!!
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: jearen on June 12, 2011, 06:21:10 pm: If I won the lottery, I would probably volunteer somewhere just to keep busy. But then if I had money I could afford to go do things. Hmmm tough question. I think I would go back and finish college, and then volunteer. Plus I would have enough money to get my online business going .

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: jenniferhoder on June 12, 2011, 07:23:23 pm: I love this question... seems like everyone asks it! I think I would take some time off to travel and get things in order (get a lawyer first) and then get a part time job to keep some type of "normal" life.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: mrsbluesmith on June 12, 2011, 07:28:14 pm: I would stay home and work on my computer still - because that's what I enjoy doing.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: thetop31 on June 12, 2011, 08:07:01 pm: if I will 1 million I will travel back to my country. I always win the smallest lottery, I will try next week and see if I can win something more
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: tashamjoy on June 12, 2011, 08:33:25 pm: Would work but by choice thats completely different the stress would not be there of how will i put food on the table, but i think working makes you feel good and from getting bored but part time i dont know i cant say maybe i would not work who knows i think you have to be there but who knows people who win the lottery get in debt a lot so may have to work harder
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: waterbottle on June 12, 2011, 08:38:24 pm: It really depend on how much it is if i became a million yes i would stop work
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: tantricia44 on June 12, 2011, 08:54:24 pm: I won a large amount that would set me up for life. I wouldn't work at all. I'd go to school to learn new things like languages,how to create building/constructing better green eco living spaces. i also give to charity & the less fortunate.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: ninajay on June 13, 2011, 01:20:49 pm: Depends on on how much I won. I would most likely quit the job I have now work on some other projects that I had been putting off because of money issues
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Kfickes on June 13, 2011, 01:39:30 pm: That would be awesome!! I would donate some money to charity. Buy a new vehicle. Really depends on much you won from the lottery. I think they take out about half for taxes.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: mary_k on June 13, 2011, 01:59:33 pm: I think I would start my own business with the money
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: a_bourget05 on June 14, 2011, 09:43:05 am: I think I would continue working so that I would have something to do and could keep my friends that I work with...If I like them haha...But I think I would keep working and just have to stop being so picky while shopping and buying things for myself? Just buy a little fancier stuff :D

Post by: radhika28 on June 14, 2011, 10:26:17 am: Definitely, we need to maintaian our visa status here
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: kapeh12 on June 14, 2011, 10:35:58 am: Would definitely depend on how much was won - if it was $100, probably not. If it was multi-million, maybe. It would depend on if I could find something to occupy my time - which work does very nicely. I'm sure I'd find a lot of pet projects to do, maybe start a business of my own vs working for a company. Would definitely take time out to travel - so would probably quit work during that sabbatical. ;D
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: BrokenBeautifully on June 16, 2011, 07:57:33 pm: I would HAVE to work, otherwise I would feel useless. I feel that working makes you who you are and I would hate to lose myself, or change because I ran into a large sum of money.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Marty40 on June 16, 2011, 08:05:59 pm: I think I would keep working, but, would probably retire earlier than I had planned.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: MessiahMews on June 16, 2011, 11:47:52 pm: No, I would not work. I would start enjoying my life finally.

I would help family members and others (friends) who need it.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: ejholt on June 17, 2011, 03:13:47 am: If I won a lot of money, and I mean over 250,000 I would quit work as I am 70 years old now. I would travel. I have been wanting to do that for a long time, didn't have the time or money. I am working now as SS does not pay enough to live on. I am thankful I am able to work now but wish I didn't.

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: pkrahmer on June 17, 2011, 03:23:46 am: It would depend on how much I won. But most likely I would probably not stop working entirely because I enjoy it. I would definitely spend more time with family and friends. I would also volunteer more :wave:
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: yosav on June 17, 2011, 05:22:29 am: i guess it depends on the amount, if i won alot i would stop working and start enjoying
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Tresbn00 on June 17, 2011, 07:55:33 am: I would take a three month break to visit the world at large, come home and say 'ha ha' to all the butt heads in my life and then work at something that I enjoy. I would try to expand a new business so that I could improve the quality of other people's lives...get them to enjoy life more. I would spend more time working with charities but, above all, would focus on the little time I have left with my kids. They are growing up way too fast and totally rock my world.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: jessicahops on June 17, 2011, 07:58:33 am: If i were to win the lottery i would still work i dont really like sitting around doing nothing all day
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: abreogshan on June 17, 2011, 08:40:01 am: Yes but I'd probably just do something more for joy of doing it instead of worrying about money. ;D Maybe someday I'll get lucky!
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: TXmomma on June 17, 2011, 08:59:37 am: I think I'd still try to work. I would concentrate more on doing something that I enjoy rather than a higher paying job that I hate. Might try to start my own business from home. I would definitely take some time off to do some traveling first.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: derrick12480 on June 17, 2011, 09:14:38 am: I would work on seeing the world. Everyone has to do some kind of work even if it doesn't pay.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: jski107 on June 17, 2011, 10:01:32 am: No, I would never work another day and neither would my parents.

Depends on how much I win! ;D

If it was a huge sum I would certainly not work but I am retired so I just work on line but if the sum is huge I just think that I would spread it around my children and grandchildren first then family and friends that need help then travel and fix my teeth I have really bad teeth but when money is no object possibilities are endless. :thumbsup:
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Glorita2 on June 17, 2011, 03:53:30 pm: I know that I would keep working, just can't see myself sitting at home doing nothing at all. Now how hard I work really depends on how much I actually win! LOL :icon_rr:
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: nnnicole on June 17, 2011, 04:39:27 pm: Yes I would work so I can make more money with the lotto money combined.

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Drea11301 on June 18, 2011, 12:01:11 pm: It depends on my job situation. If I was happy at work, I would continue to work. If I wasn't happy at work, I would definitely quit my job, just as soon as I cashed in, if the winnings were enough to live comfortably for the rest of my life.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Barbaralynne on June 18, 2011, 12:33:22 pm: I would start my dream business and volunteer! But yeah, i think I would quit my job

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: hawkeye3210 on June 19, 2011, 06:14:49 am: I would still work, but my career ambitions would likely take a serious hit. After sitting for months unemployed bored out of mind, I can't imagine not doing anything.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: ladycasshmere on June 19, 2011, 07:16:08 am: depending on the amount.I wouldn't work I would start my own business and be my own boss.

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Azanne07 on June 19, 2011, 08:12:53 am: I would have to win the mega millions lottery to quit my job. win one of the jackpots where I would winover $100 million after taxes. yes $12 million before taxes would be nice but like the others said the money isnt going to last forever and seeing as im only 23 the money would have to last to a long time. I would be happy winning the $250,000 and get my house paid off. that way I wouldnt have to worry as much about money.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: Tere2 on June 19, 2011, 03:37:54 pm: Heck no I wouldn't work if it was enough to get me out of debt and live on for about 20 years.
Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: danielzhoney21 on June 19, 2011, 06:45:14 pm: Well me and my husband would open our own business that way we still would be doing what we love and bringing in extra money just in case. Also that way our kids have more than just money when they grow up. They would have something to last a lifetime and would actually appreciate money. I would have so many GREAT plans if i won the lottery!!

Post by: 123teak on June 22, 2011, 07:10:57 am: Hurray for me!!! I would continue to work. I would pay all the outstanding bills and keep working so I would keep from being so bored at home all the time. I like to go to work and see people everyday but I would probably go to part time.

You've got to be kidding me!! I am close to retirement age as it is, I would not work another day if I won the Lottery!!

I'm already retired due to health issues so I would not work. I would volunteer either by training service dogs or teaching people all the cool things you can do on your computer.

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: cubarican210 on June 22, 2011, 08:31:37 am: I would leave my job ASAP if I won an extensive amount. I definitely won't be working where I'm at anymore. Getting a constant headache of people yelling in my ear as to what time the bus is showing up at their stop. I feel like telling them it gets there when it feels like getting there.

Title: Re: Would you work if you won the lottery?
Post by: gizmoer on June 24, 2011, 08:06:25 am: Depends on how much I won and how old I am at the time. If I am already retired... then no. If I am still 27 or lets say under 50 then yes, b/c after I traveled the world and have done whatever I wanted to do, then I might be board. So I would find me a job that would keep me busy and not board!
