although people say they enjoy there jobs and will continue to work..give them Millions and 90 to 180 days and i promise you life will get in the way of that JOB...once the $$$ sets in,the mind clears,they will find themselves busy doing stuff ...hobbies,traveling,etc and will figure out the JOB is getting in the way and taking up tooo much time

I'll give her a month . She might really intend to stay --- but her co-worker won't let her remain peacefully.

she sounds like some troubling winners we have witnessed.

May be she has not actually seen the money yet.

Come on lady, you won $93 millions not $93 thousands.

Is she greedy or still in shock by a big windfall? Or lack of common sense like some miserable winners again.

It wasn't until Taylor saw a television news report with her image from the gas station's security camera that she thought she might have the winning ticket, said Olga Gallardo, a spokeswoman for the California State Lottery. --Justxploring this is the part of the article where she said she didnt know she wont until she saw her image on the security camera footage that was shown on the news.

I thought the same thing. We hear this all the time from JP winners... I wonder how many actually keep their jobs ?

I bet the batting average is pretty darn low.

I think she is just saying that to sound humble. I'll bet she will not return to work to her 30k+ job when she just won almost $100 Million. I would not go back if I was her.

I didn't get that impression from this article. Was this written on another thread? Sounds as if she didn't even realize she won until she saw the news release. To me that's very strange. Why buy a ticket if you aren't going to check the number right after the drawing? I know people who pile them into a sewing basket and check them every few months. Doesn't make any sense to me.

JAG, I agree that most people will eventually leave their jobs, but unless she's hassled by her coworkers, I d... [ More ]

congratulations to her on the win but i think they released the image to the news too soon. if i only had a month left to claim it then i would understand it but they released that security footage very early and she didnt want a press conference and she isnt answering her phone or door so she isnt acting like someone who wanted everyone watching the news to know she won the lottery.

Yeah right. Business as usual. Let's see what happens when she realizes she can buy her company 10 times over.

Well, now that she has stepped forward, I hope she chooses cash option and doesn't have financial problems later in life

Mystery winner claimed huge SuperLotto Plus jackpot

Judy Taylor won $93 million in the California Lottery, and said she was going to go back to work as an executive assistant.

The Alameda resident told state lottery officials she would use the money to travel to Greek islands and Hong Kong, buy a new car, and, as a lifelong renter, finally break into the Bay Area housing market.

Lottery officials said Monday that Taylor won the Sept. 1 jackpot for the Super Lotto Plus game, ending a
