Default Would you keep your job if you won the lottery?

After watching the news this morning I have decided playing the lottery is most definitely the way forward - BBC NEWS | UK | UK Lottery winners are unveiled

Have you guys seen how much was won? WOW!!!! Is all I gotta say! Give me a million and I’d be happy let alone 45million!

Can you believe a couple from South Wales won the lottery – not just that but the amount that they won! £45million! What do you do with all that money??? The other half of the money was won by a syndicate of people in Liverpool - they banked about 6.5 million each!

The eerie thing for me is that the couple in Wales are the 7th winners to win the lottery in their region in the last few years!!! Shall we all move there then????

Anyway my big question here is what would you do if you won all that? Would you still work and if so in what kind of jobs?????

£ 45 Million..... gosh would a person actually still consider working after that ??? I suppose it would depend on how sick and tired I am of my current work environment.

Personally I would quit and open up a business of my own doing something I thoroughly enjoy, but on a part time basis and get a reliable manager to run the place for me, then I would only have to check in at closing time or now and again during the day to see that everything is running smoothly, I would definitely travel and spend some time with my family as I dont get much time doing this currently.

7 winners in Wales?? if I had the money to do so I would re-locate for a while to Wales and see if I could maybe be the 8th winner haha u never know.

Hehe my point precisely and why not hey? If you can win some money just from changing location then perhaps its worth the try?

Not sure how long I would be able to stay there though? Isn't it a bit quiet in Wales?

I dont know hey, my life is always so hectic I think a change of scenery to a quieter location would suit me down to the ground, iv always fancied living in a quiet town near a forest/mountains with some open spaces where I can go on long walks and just relax and take everything in

How bad is this I have forgotten the name of the place lol! The sat nav did get me there after all haha!

But yeah it was lovely! But when I retire I would much prefer a warmer climate and tranquil environment!

Right now London suits me fine
