Would you still work if you won the lottery?

I would start my own business.

I would select all employees myself with interview.

I would employ at least 10% disabled (all should be limping ladies).

I would have a dress code (skirt, nylons and heels, disabled may have exceptions).

That $10M would likely worth a fraction of it's value. If that money were even moderately invested, you would be in jeopardy of losing most of it with American banks moving towards nationalization.

Tough times. VERY tough times.

I'm forced to agree with you, Hiker.

You are your own lottery ticket.

Pick up anything by Napoleon Hill and get to work changing your beliefs and attitudes.

Life rewards action.

Cheers,

DAMN!!! That's just what I needed. On that note, I'll take your advice, DP. Thanks.

Ah, yes... Napoleon Hill. I have an inspirational picture in my office with one of his quotes...

"The starting points of all acheivement is desire"

Another of my favorites is...

"Fear is nothing more than a state of mind"

However, I will always "desire" to "acheive" winning the lottery! It certainly can't hurt.

In my country the prize is about 30 million dollars these days. No one could find the numbers for 12 weeks.

For me; if i won that money, i would start my own business. Merchandising always interests me but i have never got capital for a start... And as a result i would employ people, these days it's the most important thing.

I would enjoy lots of vacations, buy a car, a home, and give all my friends and family money. I would not work because I would be doing all the things I always wanted to!

Well, since my job is conducting rearch in the cognitve sciences, which gives me a great deal of intrinsic satisfaction, not only would I continue to work if I won the lottery, I'd pay a massive fee to *continue* working, if for some odd reason that were required.
I feel genuinely sorry for people who are compelled to work at jobs they wouldn't perform for free.
