I've fantasized about winning the lottery, especially on particularly tough days at work, but when it comes down to it I think that I'd still want to work after picking lucky numbers. When
ilanac13 commented that it's hard to say whether or not her job is fulfilling but that she'd
still work if she won the lottery, it made me curious to see how the rest of you would handle the situation. Would you keep your job, find another one that you'd like better and not have to worry about the salary, or quit altogether?

We're constantly discussing preparation for the future around here — which doesn't mean we wouldn't know how to put a large amount of cash to use immediately — but I'd like to think most of us would use foresight and take steps to keep much of that money stored away in a safe place.
It seems that I've been giving people the benefit of the doubt, because I was surprised to learn that 70 percent of lottery winners and those who receive large amounts of cash from lawsuits and the like
spend their stash within just a few years! Does this surprise you, too?

The chances of winning the lottery rely on a lot of prayer and the immutable laws of statistics, but one such lucky soul bagged a jackpot, and couldn't even give the winnings away. A Florida Lottery jackpot winner took home more than 6 million in cash and was hoping to follow his religion’s tithe commandment — offering 10 percent of his winnings to his church. Unfortunately, his church
wanted no part of this money and refused to say exactly why they turned down the $600,000 donation, though many churches don't approve of the lottery or gambling in general.

You may not remember — cuz you were too busy prying your sleep heavy eyes open — but we met this duo yesterday. Robert and Tanya Harris were
the big-time lotto winners (think: hundreds of millions of dollars) who appeared on The Today Show and couldn't contain their excitement buzzkill over this life-altering win. He quit his job and she's getting a brand new luxury car, but neither of them could muster up the will to feign enthusiasm and crack a smile.

Robert and Tanya Harris live a modest life in a farming town in Georgia, so imagine their surprise indifference upon discovering that the lotto ticket in their possession was worth $270 million dollars. Winning the jackpot means no more hard hats and no more tools for Robert; he's free to live a life of leisure! Naturally, homeboy is jumping for joy pouting and frowning.

After a frustrating day at work, many of you have probably said something along the longing lines of, "If only I could win the lottery." But in reality, how many of you actually play the odds?

The fam gave the birthday boy a lotto ticket and after giving it a good scratch, the dude discovered that — omigod! — it's a winner. This has to be the oldest prank in the book, but our boy fell hard for it.

Would you play the lottery for the chance to win the cosmetic procedure of your choice?
It is being reported that London-based Europa International is running the world's first lottery for cosmetic surgery.
For the price of a 1.50 pound ($2.90) text message or phone call, winners of the monthly draw will receive 6,000 pounds toward the cost of the surgery of their choice.
