If you won £10 million on the lottery

I asked my work collegue 'if you won £10 million on the lottery, would you come to work next week'? He said 'No way'! I said 'I would, because I told the agency I would cover the post untill they get a permanent electrician'. And so I will keep my word. I remember when a load of bus drivers won on a syndicate and the bus driver(s?) quite literally quit in the middle of carrying passengers. Thus leaving passengers stranded. So unprofessional and shocking. |

I agree, there will be plenty of time to enjoy your winnings , after you have fulfilled your current obligations. |

I'd have sacked the lot of them. |

I’m on board with that |

It's rather difficult to sack staff that quit. |

£10,000,000 eh?
More than I can spend, more than I need, more than I want.
Some of our favourite charities would benefit.
Our sons would have their mortgages paid off
Nobody would know how much we really won
But the new Aston Martin might give it away! |

But I would also have to tell my boss at least that there might be a reason I can’t come in if someone found out and my security or that of my colleagues or the wider public was put as risk as I work in the public sector |

I’d probably honour the work I’ve got booked in already, those people were good enough to trust me to carry out their work and others like them have kept me in business for 20 years so I owe it to them, would probably take on a few more people temporarily to lighten the load then as others have said get the fuck out of this utter shithole |

After making sure that my loved ones were comfortable & sorted, I’d do something that I wanted to do like open a deli or a book shop or a restaurant. I think it’s about doing what you want to do regardless of the restrictions that age/experience/salary place on us.
Then I’d get very very d*unk |

I dont understand peoples loyalty to employers, saying they'd work out any contract. Your employer doesn't give a flying fuck about you and would get rid of you in a blink if they coukd save themselves a penny.
I'd just upsticks and go, somewhere remote. My parents are dead, cant stand my siblings, so there's nothing holding me down. My daughter would be set for life. |

I am basically semi retired anyway so I would pretty much carry on living the life I do now as it works for me. The work I do do is because I am interested in it so that wouldn’t change.
I would just dump all the money in the stock market and leave it to compound up as I don’t really need it. It would just become a decent nest egg for the kids. They will have to work for a few years first so they can appreciate what they get when they finally get it. |

Whilst I agree its unprofessional, can you imagine the amount of crap bus drivers have to deal with? So satisfying for them just to stop the bus, walk off and be free. |

A guy in our town won jackpot. Closed his bakery to enjoy the winnings.
Within a couple of years he’d spent the lot, his wife left him and he became ill and never recovered.
I play the lottery occasionally but be careful what you wish for! |

I retired so no problem.
I'm happy living where I am. Tho might get a naked cleaner.
I'd pay for my local pub to open an hour earlier.
I've got enough greedy friends so not telling them. . I would send them money anonymously and see if they say anything.
I'd definitely get a funeral plan because I'd be dead in a month. |

Apparently people who win the lottery tend to loose it all and end up worse than prior. Which is why one should never burn any bridges! |

Ide buy some land out a nice running track on it and a Cycle Track for local kids and people to use. So if there's any very rich people out there who could give me the cash to do this let me know. But hey i can dream |

I would send my work a postcard… from the Maldives. I adore my job OP but don’t think for a second that any place of work would think twice about getting rid of any member of staff if they needed to. They would and they do.
My loyalty remains in entirely the right place… with myself 🌈 |

Self employed and pretty much been kept in work for the last 15 years through them so would finish the job i'm doing as have committed to it so can see why others would to.
As for spending,would build a big house exactly how we wanted it and although have good motors would tick one or two off the bucket list.
Loads of hobbies so giving up work would be easy and concentrate on other stuff. |

"I would leave the uk
Me too - the uk is a country with a wonderful future behind it.
That said there are a lot of worse places to live!"
Under the path of a hurricane?
Sometimes a move to an apparent paradise can come with unpleasant surprises. |

I would finish my contract, make sure the person taking over was up to speed and make sure whatever project I was working on was on track.
Were I just to quit, it would put friends and colleagues under added stress and pressure. I couldn't do that to them |

Someone with a decent sense of humour.
I hope that the right types reading your post will put you on their to do list as a result! |

The managers and all my work collegues are really nice and we all get on well. Thats why I would'nt just leave them without making sure all is good. |
