Jackpot winner says business as usual at executive assistant job

No way!!!
I wouldn't just sit around forever, but I sure as heck would NOT stay where i'm at!

I love helping people so I'd go back to school for something I'm more passionate about.

Maybe do something similar in the lines of oprah's 'big give' but
no - i would definitely not stay in the line of work i'm in. lol :-)

Yeah, I would definitely go back to school if I won the lottery.  Probably for counseling of some type.

I would not tell anyone about my winnings.  I worry about our retirement years, seeing how things have turned out for my MIL.  So I would get advice in order to invest the money.

But I would also use some of it to take some trips.  I'd love to visit Ireland and England, where my ancestors were born.  I'm also interested in seeing Italy and Greece.

OH YEAH I'd also get my house completed renovated, inside and out.

I would continue working, as I get much satisfaction from it.

Wow.

I could have written that post.  Even down to visiting Ireland since my ancestors are from there as well.  Visited England about 4 years ago, and would love to go back and see more of Scotland too.

People win big lottos and end up blowing it all on material things that depreciate in value.  In the end, they are right where they started, sometimes worse off.  I too would continue working, probably in my same job since I do love it, with all of its challenges.
