No, I really enjoy my work.

I would quit my current job but then I would use it to fuel my ideal job as a producer director and do it all at a low cost. I am going to use inspiring actors and my own property as the set. I want to help people in video get a leg up on the job. Then next I would start therapy horse back riding for free for the handicapped and sick.

I know how much horse back riding helps people and that the love of a horse is endless in its healing.

No, I really enjoy my work.

I work in my garden and play around on SodaHead all day. Why would I want to quit all that?

Yes, in a heartbeat.

And I would take my winnings, start a company and put a few jobless people back to work. I'm sure it would be appreciated in this economy.

Yes, in a heartbeat.

Even though I have been with the company for 34 years, I still have one more year to receive my pension and another 10 to get full benefits from retirement. But if i won this I probably would chuck it all and live it up, travel, buy a new house etc.... I think I would buy of build a big house to where my father could come live with me. He would have his own space and I would have mine.

Yes, in a heartbeat.

unless I was a porn star.
But seriously....
actually no. i would put all the money in a CD in the bank....if my annual interest would be about 80Gs after taxes, then yes, i would quit...if no, then I would keep working with the knowledge that I can fire my boss anytime i really want to.

Yes, and it would be the greatest quite in the history of quits. You would all hear about me in the papers regardless of where you live. The headline would be "You won't believe this!"

I freelance and love what I do. With that kind of money, I could start and open more music studios for those who can't afford it.

I am retired, but the job I had I would leave the day that cash hit my bank.

Was a very good job in Medical Diagnostic Imaging (Electronics) with a fortune 100 Company.

But after years of putting up with corporate Dog S...t and Mickey Mouse annual (anal) reviews, I had enough, and retired July 2010.
40 years of that with two companies. Now every day is Saturday.

Take the money and run.

I've never been in that situation. So I wouldn't know what i'd do. But if I had a job, I wouldn't quit. I'd keep going with my job or start my own business.
