    It depends. If one of the fifty tickets we bought as a group at the office wins, we'll all have a choice of quitting - thereby leaving an entire valley full of customers with no one to run the water, sewer and electric utilities - or staying long enough to train replacements. Of course, we'll want humongous pay raises as an inducement to stay. On the other hand, if the sole ticket I bought for myself wins, I'm outta here... :-D

    If they decided one day that they no longer needed you, you would out in a flash. I'd quit in a heartbeat.

        So if you are the winner of MegaMillions what will you do with the money? Will you leave your job? Call in sick till you get fired? :)

        I would destroy all electronic devices, give away all my possessions move to an pacific island where I would have a beautiful Polynesian woman bring me Mai Tai's at a regular interval until either I run out of money or Gilligan and the crew come and rescue me. Don Ho here I come..........

                  I wouldn't even call in sick. I'd just never show up at the office again.... what are they going to do..... Fire Me!!! I may well hand out checks to all the indentured servants at the office so that they have the luxury of either finding jobs they may actually enjoy doing, or they can simply "chill" and contemplate life for a while.

                              At my current job I'd probably give notice and then slink away after a hand off of assignments. Previous 2 jobs I'd have left a steamer on my managers desk and walked out.

                                  I didn't know there was such thing as "MegaMillions", but I believe first price should be at least two trillion dollars or it would be false advertising. :-D

                                    And TV certainly isn't a magic genie either..you realize that that doesn't just happen spontaneously? There is planning that goes into that.
