You would quit your job if you won?
You wouldn't?
I love my job. If I have to work for a living, then this is exactly what I want to be doing. But if I don't have to work...

No kidding, about 6 years ago, was working at a place converting from dBase IV and Clipper to MSSQL and web front end.
One day the Clipper app crashed because someone ordered 100 of the same item, and the 2 byte character field for quantity overflowed and took down the system  |

What do you mean, at home all day? With that kind of money, I don't think I could ever get bored.. |

With that kind of money, why are you at home ? I will be on my private jet or cruiser and be everywhere. The world will be my home.
Just dreaming . . . too bad, we don't get that kind of stuff over here. Not even anything close

you can't travel forever. just spending money all the time and acquiring posessions (junk) isn't satisfying.
at some point you have to find something you like to do. my point is, you can do that without winning the lottery first.
Find something you like to do now, that pays money, and call that your job.
