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

I wouldn't quit my job right out but would go into private practice for myself and do pro bono work. I'd tell my fiance and my grandmother (whose bills I would take over to pay myself). I don't know that I'd tell anyone beyond that, as I have some family that would absolutely expect me to hand them money.

First thing though I would hire a lawyer and an accountant. While in Kentucky you can choose to not disclose your name to the media, anyone can file an open records request to get your info. So I'd create a trust or LLC to claim on my behalf to protect my anonymity.

Beyond that, I'd like to create a non-profit shelter here in Louisville for homeless teens. We don't have anything here for homeless teens/runaways that is a safe option.

I'd let them know I'm quitting so they can find someone else and make a transition easy. I live in a small town so the news would come out pretty quick. A guy actually won it from here before and everyone knew. If I cleared 10M, my wife and I would both quit. That's enough to live a moderate life and have some investments for the rest of our lives. Anymore is just a bonus.

Probably get fresh overhauls on the old tractors and the combine that are pre-electronics era and then just keep on farming until the money was all gone. I love the life.

Quitting: immediately

Telling: no one

It was on first page, what you mean?

weird bump

Huh

I dunno. Showed up for me, promise I didn’t go looking.. for sure a weird bump though

I would give my notice but take my vacation time and never go back. I would not tell a single soul except my son, and that would be in person, in a private location.

That’s a lot of travel ball bats.

I’d set up 5/6 friends,my 3 kids, an ex gf , my adopted son and my parents. I’m definitely quitting my job. I’d hire a personal trainer and a personal chef and just travel with friends and family.id be super low key and probably stay in my home. I’d probably build some animal shelters. All that would be very nice.
