Why?…. when I could win AND stay anonymous. There are plenty of winners of jackpots that we don't know about. I could retire of off some of the secondary jackpots, and certainly we never hear of those winners.
The first minimum jackpot AFTER a win is what one mill, 2 mill 10 mill. I don't even know. But someone has won those amounts and have you ever heard anything about them? And that's more than enough to quit my job over.
As a matter of fact I'd RATHER win the minimum after a big 300 mill jackpot. So many people will be looking for THAT winner. I could claim my prize under the radar just as plenty of people do every day….
WRONG !
Those secondary winners' names and towns are made public in most states.
I talk about this topic quite regularly w/ my SO! In fact, I'm working a new job right now that I'm thinking of quitting.
I'D QUIT FOR SURE!!! I'm a low profile person who hates attention on myself, so I wouldn't say I won the lotto, but I'd do all the proper resigning procedures, such as giving the 2-wks notice (if they required it) & just leave w/ zero fanfare. I'd walk to my car on my last day to drive off & not even look back (I mean I literally WON'T turn my head back around to give the place one last look), no matter how long I have been working at a place. I'd probably never work ANY job again...just travel the world, do what I enjoy, & have contentment.

I personally wouldn't say I hate everyone I work w/, but there's definitely no love lost whatsoever!
i would build me a new house about six hours away from where i am, get it totally done move in and everything, and not tell a single sole not even the outer family.
then one day go in, complain about the coffee being cold, dammit i quit , walk outside, hop in truck and make the six hour drive and never return. they be going to the old house, looking for me, might even bulldoze the old house
I used to fantasize about what I would do if I won the lottery - I have retired since then, sadly without the lottery dream but here goes...
I worked at night and the first contact the staff would have in the morning would be me, so I would be wearing a clown suit, makeup and everything, when they arrived. I would act any different or address the fact that I am a clown either - I would just let things escalate on their own and just keep doing my job until they kicked me out. And then I'd walk to the top of the stairs, almost at the street, bend over and give them a nice clown moon...
The other one I had was I would be at work, checking my ticket - or scratch off a million dollar amount - and mid-sentence, no matter what was going on... I would just walk out the door - hopefully as a stuporviser is yelling at me, trying to get my attention. I'd just ignore everything and walk away - then I'd clear out my retirement account and go crazy until my lottery money arrives...
If I win now, I might be off the job but I'll go back just to annoy them... or maybe not.
What would you do?
Yes...I'd travel and start some businesses and or invest it in something.
If I was no longer working, I'd still be a steady patron of the business, so there would be no avoiding the other employees. I doubt they could find anyone to do all the things I've done, at the odd hours I sometimes have to do them. There'd have to be two or three new people hired. But I'd probably give free instructions and even do some of the difficult tasks pro bono, since I'd be there almost daily.
The first thing I'd do after a big lottery win, would be to rent an apartment in the next city over and change my official address to there. Driver's license, and other such things that might lead someone to me, would be changed. Then, I'd cash the ticket and collect the money. Immediately, I'd cancel my new residence and change everything back to what it was before, never having actually moved anyway. Always having used my middle name, except for official things, would further disrupt any attempts by con-artists to find me.

I'll bet if you suddenly died they would hire one person to replace you ( not two or three )
I would use two vacation days and take a limo to Harrisburg to verify. Then I'd go in, tell my boss I'm quitting, get my paperwork together and thank them for the opportunity. I have no beef with my employer or management.
I would throw a big party and help out a couple guys who I know need it.
