If you won the lottery or powerball, would you quite your job?

I doubt that I would quite but I would take a leave of absence.

    I would probably quit my job, stay on track for medical school, but volunteer the same time I worked before. Then I'd travel the world working pro bono at different clinics when I was done, donating the money to the clinics as I went along. I'd also want to share some of the money with my friends and family. But who knows what that much money would do to you. I've heard that a professor at Stanford published a study on people who had suddently come in to a pile of money like with the lottery or inheritances they didn't know about, the vast majority are bankrupt in 5 to ten years, sometimes much sooner, because they can't wrap their minds around the fact that its not really that much money in grand scheme of things, and it will run out one day, soon if you're not carefull.

    Depends how much you win. If I won 10 million or more then definitely. You can start your own business and work when you feel like.

    It would depend on how much I won. If it was a lot, I would leave. I like my job, so I would give my boss notice. I would love to travel.

    Nope, my job is being a stay-at-home mom and wife.

    I would take my child out of school (let her finish her final years online) and we would travel a while. There is so much I have seen that I would like to share with her.

    If it's over 1/2 million, you betcha'.

    Then I'd tour the world on the QE2.

    Then I'd donate my time to a children's charity, tutoring group, library, or some such.

    Depends on the amount that i won.It would free me up to spend more time making the world a better place. I work for myself and enjoy it. Peace.

    Depends how much I won. I might stay because I could finally afford health insurance.
