GIVE SOME MONEY TO CHARITY AND FAMILY HAVE A GOOD BREAK AND THEN GO BACK TO WORK OR WORK FOR YOURSELF HAVE TO KEEP THE MIND AND BODY WORKING!!!!

If people win the Lotto and wish to carry on working, it's their perogative, as there is no law that says you are not allowed to work. I know if I won the Lotto and was working at the time I would still do so. I would share my winnings with family and do a couple of donations that I support.

If I won big there’s no way I would work

Depends on age and your enjoyment of your job when you really boil it all down. It also helps to stay anonymous

If you love what you are doing as far as work is concerned then why not keep enjoying it

It would also depend on age.

I'm unable to work so i would help out my family and friends if the win was big enough.

good idea to work since have to do something with your time?

I would continue to work

Their money their choice

I see no objection to anyone wanting to continue working after lotto wins, With or Without money retirement can be very boring, both my husband and I have been forced into retirement,, Age Pension is hard to live on, every dollar counts, Nest Eggs a, re gifts from Heaven, Ours was taken away from us Via HIH, so good on anyone who wins and keep working

I’d continue to work if I won big too

lf l won big l would still work just for the company until l got bored

Their money. They can do what they want

It's up to them

If you still want to work you can always do volunteer work.

Rubbish! You need a bit of time to get your wits together and the best way to do that is to stay a normal as you can. Give yourself space to realise the enormity of it

They should be so lucky! I did win on the Lotto some years ago, but since it was for the princely sum of $12 decided to carry on working :-)

Sadly that means winner is so narrow minded. He or she has no other interesting activities to do in their lives.

If I won a significant amount of money, I would quit my job, go on a well deserved holiday, give some to the grandkids, invest the rest and live quite happily (and comfortably) off the earnings .......

I feel if u won enough to live off, others need the job u don't. I understand the need to feel useful & have a purpose in life. U can still have that, do volunteer work or maybe create something for others injoyment

If they are happy with what they are doing,good luck to them...

I only win on scratchies thats all.

Depends, how much you win, how much family, friends you want to help out and how much you want to give to charity. If it is only a small amount, you might have debts and by the time you buy a house, they are so expensive theses days, you might have to keep working.

id give 4 weeks notice to not raise any suspicions, say i took a job working remote for an overseas company and leave. as much as id want to quit on the spot, rather not draw attention to it

I am retired so don't have to think about work. Depending on how big a win it was - say $20 million - I would set up a Philantrophic Agency, bank-roll it with $15 million, re-invest 1/3 of income, distribute 1/3 to people who actually need it - not just those crying poor and keep 1/3 as Readily available cash.. The remianing $5 million I would invest and live on the income from that.

seeing I am retired I cant resign on the spot BUT if I was working I would cut ALL available sick leave out then slowly disappear into the sunset

i would give up as long it was enough to last

Had a relative that won $788,000 on Keno, he saw a financial advisor the next day, put the money in the bank for 3 months to contemplate what he would do, gave his notice at workplace... still in the same house, still has the same car, only works as a consultant for roughly 3 months of the year. Shouted his mum and immediate family a cruise... he has the money working for him and splurges with little luxuries and is semi retired. Lucky person, also couldn't have happened to a nicer person.

Well I would follow my passion and that is own a Cattery so yes I would still be working.

we keep getting emails to say we have won...unfortunately there are not enough zero's on the amount to contemplate being a millionaire....not greedy half a million would be nice.

i'been around for a while and have known a few that 'retired' when they cracked a significant spit, Some sought advice, some even took it initially, The majority of them are now not much better off than when they were working, Some have not only spent the their win but have ended up bankrupt. 'Takes a tad of nous and guts to keep it together and ensure that the changes to your familial circumstances change for the better AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY, stay that way

I would continue working just for the social interaction. Life gets pretty boring when you dont see the people and friends from work

if i won lotto id have to keep doing something,like volunteer a few days a week

Who are you to judge what jobs or lives other people have. It's their life and they should be able to live it as they want to.

I suppose it depends on how long it takes to get the money. I do not believe that any winner would have the cash in their hot little hand in a week so continuing to work till you get the money is completely understandable. I'm sure that the ATO will be the first to get their hands on any of this and they are not known for being quick at processing forms.

1. I never played the lottery - the odds you are gonna win are astronomical. 2. Whatever floats your boat - even if it is a dead-end job - after winning the jackpot!.

I’ve worked in hospitality for over 40 years the job Loved the job so the thought of winnings millions has never crossed my mind it’s how you interact with people in your workplace that makes your life so much better.

Depends how much you win? I like working so I don't think much would change.

I love my job and would continue to do the work I do, but not be so hell bent on reaching deadlines. Would be nice to be able to do my job for the love of it and not just the all important wage.

I would like to volunteer to give back if I won

It's really up to them.

it depends on your job if you love your work why not continue working

It probably depends on what type of work you do. Some people work at unpleasant jobs.

I have two lots of friends that have one lotto, $3 million and $1.9 million, both continued to work until they worked out what they were going to do with the money. Both had financial assistance from Lotto, invested the money and had a healthy monthly payment, they live very well. Other friends won $1.7 million and gave up work and within in nine months didn't have a penny to their name. I believe its how you handle the win and that could mean you give up work or you continue to work.

I never see evenone in front of me win lotto. My mother play lotto 25 years or more and never win lotto. My sister and father play lotto years have not win lotto. I had a workmates put $1,000 in lotto in one day she did get no wins. Low all $1,000 not eve got $1. That why I don't play lotto maybe 1 years for the fun of its. The money you used in lotto is better put in a saved account in the end you have more money.

if they want too why not.

Why not

Like that would happen, a stupid statement just to get people cranky

I am all for freedom of choice ... some people do love what they do, and some may not know what they would be like without going to a workplace ... leave them alone to work it out for themselves I say!

People have the right to live however they want. Maybe they continue in their "dead-end" jobs because they like the people they work with, maybe they like the routine or maybe they don't want everyone knowing about their win and asking them for money

It really depends on what people can do. There is guidance available if winners want it. the Lotto board do try to address these issues. It does come back to personal choice.

before i retired i would play lotto with the person i worked with and we spoke about it we would work for for about 12 months then leave what happened i was retiring and using up my leave i had and my mate got a better job offer and left we got calls for the others workers for months we did not win

It's their choice....did it occur to you that they continue with their normal routine so no one knows they've won? Personally the song "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again..." will be my answer phone message if I won.

I think it depends on how much you have won, your position in life, and if it’s a job that your really passionate about, and at the end of the day the money will run out.

Just be happy for one one who won Lotto - what they do after winning is their choice!!!!!!!!!

Work hard, play hard.

I know a lot of people who are workaholics and don't even want to take holidays. This is not what life is all about. Take the money and share it with your family. You don't need the money you get from working so let someone have your job that is unemployed

live and let live if they wanna keep working so be it ....might do it for personal interaction and good colleagues rather than job satisfaction

I know people in dead end jobs that have won and their reason for it is they are bored and don't want to spend more time with their partner. So do something else!!!!

Well, at the end of the day it's their money. And sometimes people might be paying off debts or a mortgage so they might not be willing to give up their jobs so quickly.

What? ..you love writing this crap? take a look below at the responses to your efforts today (and it is only half hours worth of responses so far at 12.30am)...until you win the lotto, hone up on your English skills, try and get a sensible job and earn people's respect ...don't worry too much about what others should be doing..

What a stupid thing to say, if people want to continue working for a while after winning that is up to them and they have every right. You sound jealous. Let me try one: People who continue writing brainless daily discussions should have their jobs taken from them :D

WHAT.... Have U gone bonkers. 1 your opinion of what other people do is not important 2. judging what other people do is sicko as sicko Maybe someone will come and take your winning as KARMA.i dont believe I heard such a selfish sick comment
