This is Bruce. While we dont know all the details at this point, a number of people from St. Albert will split a lottery win of $50 million today. The draw goes back to December, but the claim was held off for some reason. It leads me to this perennial story: According to a surprising new survey, 51% of workers claim they would keep working if they won the lottery. The top three reasons people offered for continuing to work even with millions in the bank were: 1. I would be bored if I didnt work 2. Work gives me a sense of purpose and accomplishment 3. I want financial security aside from the financial winnings. And then, there’s the other half who would walk away from their jobs. Of those workers who would quit, two percent were so bitter that they wouldn’t even tell their bosses to take the job and shove it – and instead would just never show up to work again. I think i would find it very difficult to transition to a life of leisure. I might just stay, but with, I dont know, maybe a slightly less paranoid attitude. How about you?
