If you win the lottery, are you quitting your job and how many people are you telling?

I can't say for sure I would quit my job, but I would definitely give it a lot of thought. I think eventually I would, but not immediately. As for telling anyone, I would try and keep it as quiet as I could because I don't want every charitable organization or any long, lost family members blowing up my phone or suddenly showing up at my doorstep.

Update: Powerball is now at 597 million with a cash payout of 288 million! Our dreams could be coming true soon!

If I won the lottery my boss wouldn't hear from me again only people that needed to know would know and I would disappear for a while.

Not only would I quit my job I’d hire a marching band to lead me through the gate to tell them I’m quitting.

And I like my job

Oh, I’m definitely never working again.

My life wouldn’t change tons though just wouldn’t work.

I would just be able to be at everything the kids do and take them on nicer vacations is all.

Wouldn't quit my job. But I would sit in my office, waiting on the phone to ring. Whenever anyone calls to ask me for something, I'll just say, "No...why don't you go F*** yourself instead"...then wait for them to fire me (just to see how long it takes).

I would also use that response to random relatives showing up on my doorstep, or charitable organizations that contact me. I would absolutely donate to philanthropic organizations...but I'm fully able to seek them out myself.

depends on how much but most likely yeah i’m quitting my job.

I like my job too. but every job you eventually have to put up with some BS. You have to put up with stuff to make a living.. and if you don’t wtf are you putting up with some stuff

did i win $10mm or $100mm? my answer is different based on that.

$100mm and i never have to work another day and can be pretty flagrant about it. and give away $50mm and still be fine.

$10mm and i'll have a great life but i'm going to still work my day to day, albeit a bit more swaggy.

I'd quit right now if I got a $2 million lump sum and never work again.

I would quit my job but not tell my wife. I would tell her I have to start traveling for work and go enjoy myself.

Not immediately and just my wife.

Eventually, I will leave and eventually immediate family will know after financial and legal stuff was worked out

I would never touch my work laptop again.

I would definitely try to limit this, but I'm sure it would get out eventually. I would sell my house and change my phone number.
