What Would You Do?

Welp, the big powerball of 340 million was won last night by somebody in Oregon. I myself bought $20.00 of tickets and won a big fact $7.00. It’s that hope and dream of winning it big that keeps us buying them every week along with that never ending question of what would I do if I won all that money. Obviously, depending on peoples situations they’d pay off all their bills, buy a new car and a house.

But what I want to know is if you won that money would you immediately quit your job? For me I’d really, really want to but I wouldn’t only for the fact that the boss I’m working for only has a couple more years before he retires and I think him, our nurse and I will probably go at the same time he does when he retires. I just need to finish getting my degree in the meantime so I can get another job outside this place and into what I really want to do.

  2. To dream is cool.

    Just curious, will you have your degree and be ready for the new job in two years?

    Or is that a dream too?

    Best,

    Allan

  3. I work for myself designing and running websites, and I love my job, so I wouldn’t actually quit. However, I’d probably immediately hire a few hitmen to take care of some of the more troublesome people throughout my life. ;)

    So sayeth Angry Internet Guy, the only voice that “really” matters on the web.

  5. The person who won was from Medford, Oregon, and I’ve actually lived in that city for about a year when I was in middle school. Maybe I should have stayed — sounds like a lucky place to live.

    If I won the lottery, I would pay off all my school loans and then spend the rest on shoes!

  8. My life would not change much! I’d just have $20,000 a day to spend. That’s all. ;)

    I’d probably keep my current truck, get it painted, and buy a new house to park it in front of.
