Current Events > If you win the lottery, would you work?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I would never work ever again.

fuck no I'd quit before I even cash the check
---

Nope
---

No, I also wouldn't be stupid with the money either. Small house, internet and TV and I'm good.

You don't need to win the lottery for that, just swipe some Unity assets and put them up on the store
---

Yes until I have all my affairs in order. I would lay as low as possible and move away as soon as the money came in. The less people that knew I was rich the better and bybcontinuting to work I could maintain that
---

Yeah.

I wouldn't tell anyone I won. I'll just continue on like nothing happened

Absolutely not.
---

Yeah, but it would just be part time.

I'd start a business and employ people even if I was breaking even or losing a little bit of money
---

Yes but only part time. I still want to have some income coming in.
---

Depends on how much but I'd wanna make a movie and/or a game
---

It depends on how much. If it's only a few million--there's a good possibility I might continue working where I'm at just to stay busy.

If we're talking about 50+ million, I'd probably try to start a business of some kind (with professional advice and help) to keep myself occupied.

If I had no responsibilities or a reason to wake up early, be productive, and meet with people in a professional capacity---I'd probably end up partying/drinking way too much.
---

Maybe start a hobby job of some sort.

And not continue to work in a Mill shack and freeze to death during the winter and roast during the summer.
---

For me, I wish I can live with enjoying my hobbies day in and day out for life. Work interferes because the ONLY reason to have a job is for money.

Take that out of the picture, and I can live a peaceful, happy life and live happily ever after. The main goal for me is to be happy and fun-filled!
---

I'd use a chunk of the money to help me get into a job I'd enjoy doing. Education, certifications, etc.

Either that or get involved in non-profit/volunteer work to help people. I'd need to do something useful - I know from experience that having way too much free time makes me go insane.
---

I know what the lottery is so yes.
---

I probably would at some point, out of boredom or something to do, but I sure as hell would never keep a job that doesn't interest me, that's for sure.

Yep.
---

You mean actually get compensated for my efforts? not where I live is that going to happen.
---

if we're talking, say, a few hundred thousand to a few million, yes, but i would consider taking on part-time, more physical work, if that would be enough to pay the necessities while i let the winnings grow with roughly my current investment mix. more than that and yes, nearly in a heartbeat, but would give notice if it didn't seem that doing so would jeopardize my winnings or safety in some way. i would always strive to work towards some goal, necessary even now, as no work that i have done for pay has ever provided a sense of purpose that i can relate to

unfortunately, i will never win a lottery prize, whether $500 million or $5.
---

Yeah I'd still work.
---

Nope. Just hobbies I enjoy. Maybe open a few businesses. Better ROI than stocks.

This. I might do some charity work or open a small business (always thought it would be cool to have an airsoft/paintball field) but I'd never work a regular job again.
---

I'd work a bunch of terrible jobs and be like undercover boss. Quit in the most dramatic ways and what not.
---

Id definitely still work. Not a fan of doing nothing and really not a fan of being lazy.

That is brilliant. I'd see how far I could push them before I got sacked.
---

Quite the opposite. I'd work even more.
---

I'd definitely continue to pursue creative work, like writing and music. I like making things!

Yeah I'd go bonkers if I didn't work.
---

i wouldn't work. but i would get out of town if i won the lottery. would move somewhere else where they wouldn't know me.
---

I'd try to be a twitch streamer for a bit with a disguise and stuff. Do bunch of giveaways and stuff.
---

I can't imagine not working for more than a month

That's stupid when you look at your opportunity cost. Especially if you won millions.

I wouldn't risk going broke like a lot of other people do who win.
---

Just some sort of hobby job so I won't go insane from boredom.
---

I still would, just part time though. I'm lucky to live in a state where I don't have to be public with winning, so I'd just continue my job.

I agree. I dont need a big house, cause Ill be the only one in it. Dont need a really nice car just one thats ok
---

I'd work producing my own porn vids.
---

Depends on the winnings. I'd probably have to win at least 4-5 mil to quit my job.

That's not the point. You're just letting it sit there instead of trying to make more money off it.

is investing money counts as work?
