If you won the lottery, would you keep working?

I wouldn't vacation. I would buy a decent sized house (not a big one), and not worry about a loan.

Then, I'd use a small portion to make a really awesome audio build. I'd make a large buy of amplifiers from Zenon, and mark them up $100. Then I'd start my own company.

not at my current job, b/c i have to deal with people. i'll get a desk job or something to kill time

I really do hate dealing with customers. Can't wait to get a legit job.

In high school, most part-time jobs deal with serving people: store associate, fast food, waiter/waitress, ect.

I don't really want a desk job.

I think what @av83; does is awesome. I'd love to work at a battery specialty shop. I could get an employee discount on batteries.

I'd fill the bed of my truck with cheap lead-acid "scrubber" batteries. They're like three times the size of a group 31 and aren't expensive.

I wouldn't even need an upgraded alt, lol. I'd just run everything at battery voltage and then charge my batteries every night

Winning a large amount of money like that after taxes...

Yeah id keep working. Even if making very little working 20-30 hours a week. This would keep my cash in a constant rate.

You can have a million, but if you dont work that money will soon go fast and you will not have any fall back on it.

BS. Not unless you invest some of that money. Not to mention the more $$ you leave in the bank it will gain interest.

I don't make shit but i do love my job regardless lol. It would actually be just about my top choice for a place to work after coming into $$$, if it happened. I could not live my life without hard work. I would go insane. 50 hrs a week feels nice to me lol.

Seriously you could live off the interest... 135mil after taxes what's the cash out like 65-70mil.... Now max insured is 250k so that's 280 bank accounts... Each earning 4-5% so that's about 12500 per account and 3.5 million a year on interest

This to an extent. But i would just hop hobby to hobby and enjoy my time. I would still make my kids work though.

Quit work, get fat, buy a single wide in the middle of a trailer park and set in a lawn chair drinking beer and spraying kids with the water hose when they walk by. The American Dream

I would continue with daily life as if nothing happened. If you let money freedom/spending control you, you are f*cked. Maybe spend a lot on guns and security cameras because people going to find out you have lottery money.

I would just keep building custom bikes/cars ect... but on a bigger/grander scale. And then put them up for sale for stupid money, like WCC, Foose, OCC, ect ... and if you sell one, great... if not, who cares .....

I'd try to buy the Dr Crankenstein name from Ron, and bring it back with good equipment, like it was when him & Ed started it in '91 ...

Plenty of things to do after you win...and millions in the bank account.
I'd give someone else my job. Esp if someone is looking or needing one. Give someone a chance to work, that they didn't win $$.

Exactly i have a great job that ppl less fortunate would die to have ..id tinker a do something i enjoy

You could live on the interest alone for the rest of ur life

Regardless of money, I'd like to work at a battery shop at least once in my life

Probably the best idea yet

Guns would be a good investment. Money don't mean shit in the zombie apocalypse!

Yes, this is very true

Shit happens
