So you like being bossed around being told what to do with your time? You don't have to be someones employee to work.

I'm self employed. I would keep working and try not to tell anyone except immediate family members that I had won. I'd pay off our mortgage and invest most of the rest. I would buy a convertible to drive during the summer, but that's about it.

I'd quit immediately, but would probably arrange to have a really nice lunch served over at HQ for everyone.

I would poop on the boss's desk, while she was working at it.

Finish only the project I am working on, then leave. If unemployed at the time, notify companies I applied at, if I can find them, that I am no longer interested and here is why!

Of course, I understand if you have nice coworkers & a nice boss, you wouldn't say anything. However, staying??? WHAT???? You just won $10,000,000 WTF?!?!?!

Id stay quiet. I would tell them my name will NOT be published, nor my picture, anywhere. Id eventually make a small investment and finally open up a hot dog stand where my hours and days of working would be of my own choice, not someone elses.

I would let them be horrible until the end. And then they can wonder, wonder, wonder what happened to me, it wouldn't matter a bit to me. I wouldn't give them a chance to be even more 2-faced than they have been. They can just be mean and bully me until I vanish, that says more about them than it does about me.

I haven't bought a lottery ticket in a while. Maybe I should.
LOL, that person was a hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
