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.

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

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.

I think I would start my own business with the money

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

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

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.

I think I would keep working, but, would probably retire earlier than I had planned.

No, I would not work.  I would start enjoying my life finally.

I would help family members and others (friends) who need it.

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.

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:
Be grateful for what you have and you will receive more than you ever expected

If you believe it you can achieve it.

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.
