I don't buy lottery tickets because I feel I wouldn't win. However, if I were to be given a winning ticket (let's say $10 million USD) I'd keep my current job for a while. I'd begin my own business (probably real estate investing), then I'd quit my job and transfer my project management skills to managing my business.

Eric, It doesn't happen like that you wont be giving a winning ticket but if you feel like you said then just don't waste your money.

Once in a while I buy one for fun, I usually like the scratch-offs or the bar keno. Not everything in life should be left to deciding based on value or the mathematical likelihood of an event occurring. Sometimes it is just fun to do. I spend way more money doing things that have zero chance of making me money.

If I actually won, I could see myself starting my own business. I am not sure at that point I could handle working for someone else. The urge to tell people what I really think would be too strong.

If I win a jackpot, I would definitely quit my current job and look for a job that's less stressful. I also want to help homeless people and those who are suffering from diseases.

To win you need a ticket! except for some polls, on occasion, I don't have a ticket.

Winning would certainly change a few things. I would certainly not stop working. Many options could be considered, helping some cause would be one.

Vincent that's right you can't win if you are not in, But surely the way of thinking would change when having more purchasing power.

Tamer, Andrew, Robin, & Kiron, thanks for all feedback - of course we are talking here about jackpot which is 60 million in Canada or 340 million in states same way you can find 10 million in Australia (OZ Lotto) and Euro and UK get bigger numbers too.

Probably, because the entrepreneurial spirit would take over and afford more options.
Sante I like that entrepreneurial spirit

On hitting a jackpot why quit the job? Go on a holiday with ur family OR Buy a luxury villa etc. there are a host of things u can do
Rajesh you have to quit because with that winning you will discover that you have tens of hundreds friends coming your way, I know you love the work you do but it wont be easy to stay same place.
