Enjoying your job is a nice sentiment, but employment being what it is, it might be better karma to let someone who needs the work, or paycheck, to have your job if you are all set financially.  They can always make work by starting their own business or something.

Yeah! I agree.  Keeping old job is not a good idea.  Lots problems ( asking for handouts everyday, resentment,  who can you trust and envy. )

Leave and party in hawaii.

Woo! Tampa Bay! Guess it wasn't worth waiting for Florida to go multi-state!

Congrats to the lucky winners.

I consider it an insult to some of us folks who work in jobs that we do enjoy. To tell us to QUIT or walk away from what we enjoy is rather disrespectful to our right to do for others or contribute to society. I dont work for the money (although its nice to have), I work because I enjoy it and the bonus is getting PAID for what I do. Money is NOT the motivator for some of us folks. Ask a priest, a teacher, a social worker, a charity worker. Some folks actually consider there CAREER more important then the check cut each work. Any mature adult would respect a persons contribution to the job field.

Hats off to the winners for being able to say they like there jobs!

I have to agree with TheGameGrl.  Not everyone hates his/her job.  I wish I could say I've worked at a job I love and for reasons other than money.  Unfortunately, that hasn't been the case for a very long time.  It's true that if you worked in a factory or retail store where people were getting laid off, there would be resentment and co-workers might expect you to pay for lunch, etc.  If I won millions, maybe I would start a business or philanthropy doing something I really enjoy, or perhaps join an established one where I can be a contributing member. 

Attitude is also important.  I once worked at a store with a woman whose husband made a high 6-figure income and she was only there for "shopping" money. This is not uncommon in retail. But $500 a week is a lot of money to some people, especially in this area.  Once someone spilled coffee and she said "Be careful. My shoes cost more than you made last week."  I didn't mind working with her, because she was upbeat and funny. However, the other people who were working 2 jobs to support their families resented her snobby remarks and I sometimes found her annoying since my $29.95 shoes meant just as much to me!   

God Bless that couple..end of story.

Only 1/2 of your purchase or thereabouts goes to the winners (all winners, not just Jackpot) and the other is supposed to be for Education or whatever.

"beating 1-in-176 million odds" - does that mean they only played 1 ticket? Otherwise it might be "beating 5-in-176 million odds" or something. Even then that would assume that was the only time they played. The odds of a given person winning are not as high as they appear.
