I think most people that say they will continue to work are in one of two catagories:1. lying to others2. lying to self I would say we all did a little research that anyone that won a jackpot over 10 million left thier jobs within a year. If anyone knows different please correct me but I would still guess that that people that stay working are the odd balls, they are literally one in million. Cheers,

On second thought I think I would quit the job. I don't like the supervisor or any of the people I work with so I'd be glad to never see them again.

Probably for him winning the lottery was like I remember my dog chasing cars. Chasing cars was fun but actually catching a car was confusing. RJOh

If I won a large jackpot I may still work for a company if they treated me well. Although I would definitely take time off for a good vacation. Liz

I would stay working until employer ticked me off. If I had won $56 mill it would not take much at all to tick me off.
