If you won the lottery (I think powerball is up to $800M cash value now), would you keep your current job? Change jobs? Or quit working altogether?

I personally think I would want to keep doing work of some sort, but maybe I’d switch off to consulting on a smaller scale. Definitely not full time.

There is zero chance I would continue working if I woke up with a 9 figure net worth. I might consider doing some volunteer work down the road, but in the short term, I would quit and treat myself to some serious R&R. And a new house. And car 😂

I would probably keep my current job for a while, but I’d be a lot more open to doing something else! Something where I could set my own hours and have some flexibility.

I like having something to do. So, I’d probably keep working in some fashion. But I’m not sure if I would strive to “climb” the ladder. So, I’m sure my work ethic would look different.

This is exactly how I feel. I always want to be doing something, but it would definitely be without the ambition I have now.

Quit

Edit to say, I’d quit and find more fulfilling ways to fill my time. Volunteer, travel, try to start a fulfilling business etc. I would most definitely not work in corporate though.

Depends if I won it all I’m sure I’d quit but idk now.. and I only say that because I just started this job and I actually enjoy it lol 😂

Absolutely no chance id stay on this job 🤣 Id open a bakery!
I’d 100% stay in this job though until they found someone to replace me, as I love the people at my work and wouldn’t wanna put them out

Heck no. The way I would turn in my two weeks notice so fast. I wouldn't be able to quit quickly enough.

I would promote myself to customer in record time.

Immediately retire and fulfill my calling for animal rescue

I’d probably quit the 9-to-5 grind, but I’d still want to stay busy with something meaningful, Maybe a mix of part-time projects or volunteering. I can’t imagine doing nothing at all!
