Quoted:
dont ya think? because if you call in sick on saturday or the following monday, and never show up again, people are gonna know you won. so, how do you deal with the work situation? continue to work for a few weeks so people forget about the lotto and then say you got a job somewhere else? you will still have people figure it out once you go to claim the prize and they see that it was won in your town. i guess by that time, you should have already moved. Fake your own death? 
If it actually happened I'd just quit. Tell them I'm moving on and prefer to not say what I'm going on to do. |

I'd quit but I have been there for years and have been treated very well
I'd make sure the company was flush to keep operating for a few years if things get even more austere in the economy and depending on level of money all my co-workers would get at least new vehicles if not new houses |

I know of one physician who won a lottery jackpot.
Kept it under wraps for about two years, getting everything set up (trusts, etc... to keep disgruntled former patients from immediately seeking a payday by filing a lawsuit against him), then retired. You'd never be able to work as a physician again... you'd be too big a target for grifters and various sorts of litigious lampreys. |

Oh, I would show up. For a year, minimum. Then one day, out of the blue, I would put in my two weeks notice:
"Two weeks from today's date will be my last day of employment here at ABC, INC. Wizards from the 3rd dimension have called for my services, and I must depart my worldly body. Though the fate of the universe rests heavily on my shoulders, I feel obligated to the company to provide this notice, prior to my spiritual battle with the ethereal demon spawn of Zurgok 9. Sincerely, Kuraki" And two weeks later, poof, disappear. This is a small town. They would talk about that shit for yeeeaars.

I'd send my boss an email that said I had a personal issue come up and wouldn't be in for a couple of days. Once I got the paperwork processed they'd know something was up when I showed up in a sports car the last two weeks. Who cares if they know you won? |

I had an employee sort of hit the jackpot. He came to work one day and wanted to talk. It turned out an Uncle of his who had no wife or kids left him a 640 acre ranch complete with barns, stock pens and one real cool house. It was all paid for. The poor kid was feeling bad about having to quit. The only thing I had to say to him was, "What are you doing here? Go enjoy life"

One of my co-workers where I used to work hit the lottery, like $300,000, enough so he could pay everything he owned off, and he farmed part time anyway, so working at the machine shop was just extra money, plus since they paid for his quadruple heart bypass about 4 years earlier he felt he owed them. Although he also lost a hand because of one of the workers there not watching what he was doing so I kind of thought they were even. Well in any event the guy the crushed his hand kissed a lot ass through the years and finally became this guys boss. So one day he was just doing his job, and for no apparent reason other than ass kissing boss being an asshole comes up and just starts ripping him a new one. So he looks at his boss, tells him to fuck off, and says I quit, and walks out the door. I shook the guys hand before he left, because the his boss while not my boss was an asshole, I worked for him at one point when I first started. So that's the only person I have ever known to win money in the lottery, but it's a great story about what he did.
I agree though call in sick, by the time anyone figures it out, you will be on a beach somewhere, having scantly dressed women serve you drinks. Although from what I have heard it takes a little bit of time for the money to hit your account like week or so, I would still work though I like my job, my filter is already missing, I agree my boss is great I would probably doing something nice like pay off her house she deserves that, I also owe an old co-worker a truck as the was the deal we shook on years ago, if either of us every won the lottery we would by the other a truck under 50K. |
