Is giving a 2 Week Notice even an option?Reply
Then I have a good question for you, What would you tell your boss the reasoning for your decision to quit? My boss and co-workers would definitely want to know why i was quiting. I have been a faithfuly employee and I love what I do, I even told everyone I would love to retire here. Asking for a 2 week would be shocking and avoiding the question would make for some akward situations.

Will You QUIT Your Current JobReply
Nooo I wouldnt quit for 1 million dollars...I'd love to come to work after I won that amount, because I'd just be working for my retirement and savings then...I have at least a good half set aside for the nest egg, pay off the house, buy 2 good running cars, go on a couple good vacations, get new furniture and a couple flat screen tvs, then work out the rest of my 25 yrs and retire happy

How much money per week would you consider Set for Life?Reply
We don't have many win for life tickets in the UK, I think there is only one or two not sure as I don't play them but it's tax free here so I guess it would be possible to retire if you won.

Would you continue to play the lottery if you won 1 million?Reply
I would continue playing, a million dollars out here in California would buy one an outhouse- depending on where one lived, but in all seriousness it takes more than a million to retire on unless one has a pretty good nest egg in place prior to the win.

What is the ideal amount of money you would like to win ?Reply

$400 MILLION: Powerball jackpot skyrocketsReply
No, sonny, I would definitely not be broke quickly. Since I was able to retire in my early fifties and live quite nicely off my investments since then, I think I should be quite capable of determining how much I would need to live the way I choose to live for what remaining years I have left in my old age. And had you taken any of the personal finance classes I taught, you might have learned a few tricks yourself. Cheers!

$400 MILLION: Powerball jackpot skyrocketsReply
The only reason why I didn't win the jackpot Saturday Night is because I am not ready to retire yet. I might be ready to make an exception Wednesday Night though. I'll think about it.

What keeps you motivated to play on despite your loses outpacing your gains?Reply
I keep playing in hopes of hitting it big so my mom can retire and not work until she is really old. I also want to stop working so I can enjoy life more.

It's the dream of winning enough money where I no longer would have to work until I die. I've always been realistic enough to know it's just a pipe dream to actually win the lottery but that doesn't stop me from trying (in a responsible way). I've always said that I would be happy winning any amount. Even if it isn't enough to retire on it would make my life easier.
