I work for a small company and like my bosses and coworkers. I’d give them time to replace me and finish any projects I’m working on. Then I’d quit.
If I won enough I’d give enough to them to quit also.

If you win the lottery, are you quitting your job
quote:2 and 2 only. My wife, and one of my best friends who owns a company running accounts for rich people.
and how many people are you telling?
Both would know immediately, as my best friend would also be my go to not just for investing but to get me to the right people to do all of the next steps up to claiming the money in the right order and right way.

Depends on the size of the winning amount. If it is large enough I would disappear.

Eventually, I will leave and eventually immediate family will know after financial and legal stuff was worked out
Not even my 2 kids would know or my closest or wife's closest family. Not a single one of them would know until all the legal crap is done.

I would feel bad not being able to give them 2 weeks notice. No way I wouldn’t frick something up while waiting on my money
Posted on 9/13/23 at 4:35 pm to SwampyWaters
Yes. Maybe 12.

$10M would be very tempting to quit working. Would probably be around $6M after taxes. Invested conservatively with 5% annual return is $300k a year. I can live comfortably on that without having to worry about working anymore.
Sure, if I work, i'll get more raises and promotions and eventually make more money than I do now, but simply not having to work ever again for me easily trumps that.
Hell I'd probably take some kind of pay cut as well to never work again lol.

Quitting my job immediately (if I liked the employer, then I would give a two week's notice). I would probably eventually go back to work at a very part-time job to avoid total boredom, but would never work a full-time job again.
I would tell my parents, my brother, and then my closest friends that I can 10000% trust.

I’d have to.
Telling everyone so that I know who was there before the money and those that only hit me because I have it.

Absolutely would quit and I would tell very few
Posted on 9/13/23 at 4:45 pm to SwampyWaters
Yes, would absolutely quit as soon as money was in hand. I would provide 2 weeks notice and spend it squaring away my stuff... I am not a total dick. I would craft a cover story, because they'd announce a winner in the city I lived and people would connect the dots.
I teeter on who I'd tell. Honestly, based on evidence out there, I wouldn't tell anyone outside of my wife, attorney, and financial advisors.

Yes, and as few as possible.

My job pays you to go to rehab for a couple of months if you get popped on a drug or alcohol test. I’d come in to work and get caught drunk or high. Then i’d go to a few meetings while collecting enough pay from them to hire a couple of accountants. I owe them that much.

First If I won the lottery I would put in my resignation at work and work out a reasonable compromise. I not an A Hole and would not host nor. show up to work which would put a lot of people in a bad spot they didn’t deserve it.
Second I wouldn’t let anyone other than my wife , and lawyer know I had won it. I wouldn’t tell my parents, children, I mean know one.

How much did I win? $50K - no $2mil

I would show up, take a giant shite on the floor, and roll out 
Posted on 9/13/23 at 5:21 pm to SwampyWaters
Yes and the world
Idgaf I tell people NO all the time I love I have no issue doing it to strangers .
That being said I also would give 25% to children's hospital and 25% to the wounded warriors/ tunnel to towers type charity
The rest is for me and my immediate family

I’d quit. I would buy a huge ranch out west somewhere and have my buddy run it. Would have a place in La to live during the Holidays and cold part of the winter.

1 mil up.. quit
Send Ruth Chris takeout to people who treated you with respect and let the rest figure it out.

Depending on age, one could quit their job if they win $2M. Pay off mortgage and other debts, invest the rest, and the new part-time income would fully support one’s new no mortgage lifestyle. $2M invested at age 30 will be more than enough for retirement later.
