Would you work if you did not have too? Say you won the lotto tomorrow.

I like working but I had fun being off for a few months this year because of covid so i probably wouldn't bother working again. I would travel, and spend time on hobbies etc

Same here, I'd definitely never work again. I think people who say they'd stay working need to get more hobbies and an imagination. Life is short.

I was chatting a guy on a train a few years ago, he was in his late 50's id say, we were chatting about working, he said he wouldn't know what to do if he retired as he had no hobbies. i felt sorry for him, i cant get my head around the fact people can have no hobbies, like surely you like something other than working?

Id open a company in my field of expertise. Id have a trusted manager type who looked after the boring stuff.

Managing the money would be a job in itself.

I'd probably take a part time job doing something random with zero stress. I definitely wouldn't work fulltime.

I think if you do win it you should give up your job.

Give someone else a chance to get a job you really dont need anymore.

I hate those people who carry on working.

it all depends on how much I won.

Would enjoy work more if it wasn’t about the money. I just wouldn’t tell anyone. Would think about investing and retiring early too

I'd pack it in if I won the lotto, been doing grunt work for the past 26 years and beginning to feel it now.

Have a lot of respect for tradesmen who work into their 60s, its not easy.

I'd work but it would be managing my winnings by buying a shopping centre or apartment blocks to earn from that.

Sitting on your hole doing nothing businesswise with millions in your productive years is not a good place mentally to be.

I’d spend my time enjoying the best of life, a couple of well furnished, luxurious properties, here, south of France , pool, tennis courts games rooms, sauna, jaccuzi, couple of nice cars...

I’d invest some money with the motivation in earning it that I’d make it do 100% good for others.

Say pick x number of charities say 7 , give a base donation of say 50,000 annually, that could be upped if investments are earning...

No work. Not a hope. I’m by virtue of my personality easily bored but no, I’m not working... apart from at enjoying life.

Secret is, if you win 50 million, let on you won 20 say.... can still look after everybody , give them a nice share , firstly as a lump... then a yearly gift for a while, say you earned a good bit on investments... just sharing the wealth.

having it known that you are sitting on a massive stockpile of cash WILL mean you’ll be inundated with begging letters, calls , and so on, probably enough to inhibit your day to day ability to enjoy life...

I pretty much have two jobs so I'd cut back on the amount of work I do - just stick to basic computer repair (rather than installations/onsite/networks) cos I enjoy it. Other job would be harder to give up....carer for my father. Unless I stick him in a home or get a beautiful live-in nurse
