  Some folks are lucky and have the right company and leadership team in place. They get treated well with raises, benefits,vacation time, etc. etc. They perhaps deserve that professional courtesy of the 2 week notice. Do you or will you need them down the road if you have "hit BIG" as the title suggests ?? I can honestly say with 100% certainty that answer for me would be "no". If I did need them, I would be more likely to find someone else so there would be no conflict of interest or possible envy consideration. There is someone better for services required or requested, because it's a matter of cost/convenience. With the big hit ? Cost isn't a concern in the future.

  Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

  Of course I would provide two week's notice. Why should I screw over my good employer because I won big? It's not their fault.

  Besides, I wouldn't have access to large amounts of money within two weeks of winning a large jackpot. Those take time to process.

  i got fired from my job at the orange juice factory. i couldn't concentrate.

  later i got a job at a stationery factory. i had to quit because it just wasn't going anywhere.

  there was one job i managed to keep even though i kept getting fired: human cannon ball.
