The difference between being bitched at by one person when you do something wrong and being bitched at by everyone when anyone does something wrong or anything goes wrong for any reason at any time, even if it's not really wrong.

I’d lose my mind. All of sudden being able to have virtually anything without having to work for it?

I’d absolutely have to do some sort of charity work, kingmaker political stuff, or fricking something to keep my sanity.

I would only stay in my job if I won a million or less. 2 million and up, I am gone and working more on my own business.

I love my job, I find it very rewarding, and I get to do some really cool stuff.

But, it's still a job. Some days will always just feel like work.

Heard that man! I did hot shot for years delivering blood. People used to think I was full of bull when I said I put 10k miles on my civic a month!

Please do write the book! I’d love to read it!

I absolutely hate my job. Money, and the fact that I can retire in a few years, the only thing that keeps me around. I’m afraid that I would quit my job if I hit $50 scratch off ticket.

I finally got into the position I've always wanted to be in, and as long as I'm left to do the job they hired me for, I love it.

I'm still young, so yeah, I'd keep working until they pissed me off or I got to retirement age.

I like my job. I don’t know if I’d work in the same capacity if I won the lottery but I’d certainly be interested in buying my company and continue being very very active in it.

Don't love it, don't hate it. Money is good and I'm able to enjoy my home life. I'd walk out in a second though if I hit the lottery

I've only had one I've ever even liked. Hate the one I have now but like the people I work for and with so that helps.

I really like sales but my boss is a micro managing prick who reads all my emails and then sends me separate emails on the side. Like brah. You sell this shite if you don’t like the way I do it.

Not BS. I'm excited to go to work everyday and I've been doing it for the last 12 years. I genuinely love my job.


ETA- I wouldn't do the exact same job after the lotto, but I'd still be playing in the same field.

Just the ability to live on my own time schedule would be all the reason I needed to hang it up.

When I'm on my death bed I'm not going to care about some stupid job. I'd rather spend more time with my family.
