Good guy. That'd be a tough spot to be, big jackpot winner and a boss who determines the fate of many. You'd want to quit to enjoy everything that comes with being a jackpot winner but if you do so you cause a lot of unemployment. Maybe he'll be able to promote some people and be able to take a long vacation and enjoy the money.

Lightning even strikes at lightning protection firms. Mr Westbury sounds like a good man. He deserves it.

Congratulations, Westburys, on your tax-free lottery jackpot win!!!

What fun. Now you are able to promote a couple of those faithful employees to executive management positions soon, so that your family will be able to take quarterly 1-2 week eppisodes away from work. I hope you won't put-off enjoying these jackpot monies for longer than 1-2 quarters.

Boss wins lottery, stays on job for his staff

Lottery Post — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 08:33:19 GMT

A Briton who won a 7.7 million (US$11.9 million) in a lottery has promised to continue working for the sake of his employees who had even worked for free to save his recession-hit firm.

There is no longer any need for Ivan Westbury, 64, to go to work. But he has pledged to keep working to save the jobs of his 30 employees.

Westbury, who supplies lightning protection, shared the win with his wife Susan.

It couldn't have come at a better time. Everyone's job is secure.

The employees... [ More ]
