pattricia Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I think the reason we “work” is a lot deeper than finances. If youre a Lottery winner its bound to be phsycological . (have I spelt that right ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 If I were employed and won millions a high moment in my existence would be to tell the boss to take the job and shove it. I might even be rash enough to pee all over his desk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 It'snot a joke Alcoblog. Nor is it an attack on anyone so calm yourself down. Oh, Ok ... so you're suggesting that professional people ... doctors (who've put their lives into their chosen field), Stephen Hawkings, Richard Dawkins etc ... should be forced to give up their job if they win a mill on the lottery? Maybe we should ban certain people from taking part in the lottery in case they're made to loose their jobs if they come up trumps!? This could easily be solved by having lottery police guarding every newsagent, supermarket etc! Stephen Hawkings ... 'Here's the manuscript for my latest work in astrophysics' Lottery police ... 'Sod off Steve, inadmissible ... you're this weeks lucky winner' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcspb1 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Perhaps it may be more manageable to have a separate national lottery for those on out of work benefits. Only those on certain benefits would be eligable to purchase a ticket. The winner would then be quids in, and off the dole queue, and the government would be quids in as well. Surprised it hasn't been implemented already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Sod off Steve, inadmissible ... you're this weeks lucky winner' These individuals are arguably the best in their field and will be already financially secure enough to sniff at a million quid. As iv'e said, Im referring to the average lottery player, not the internationally renowned multi millionaire astrophysicists and best selling authors that you've hand selected to support your argument. Neither of whom are likely to be joining the dole queue any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky B Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I think the reason we “work” is a lot deeper than finances. I think you have it there. I've spent 6 months working in a mental health care setting, there's a lot to be said for purposeful activity... Personally, I wouldn't give up work if I won the lottery, I've worked too hard to get where I am to give it up quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
