Another lottery winner going to 'carry on working"
Why do these people bother doing the lottery if they dont want it to change their lives? Isnt that what it's all about? It is also extremely selfish to continue to work in a job when you have come into so much money, enough to retire on, when there are so many out there looking for work. What's wrong with doing volountary work if you are fortunate enough to be in that position? Not take a job that someone else may be desperate for.

It provies a sound and comforting daily routine, a set of colleagues and friends, and a productive role in life. Some people are reluctant to give that up, even if they have the finnancial wherwithall so to do.
So although I can see the sense in what you say, i think for some people, the loss of that stability and framework would not be advantagious to them, and they would prefer that their good fortune does not make a major change in the fabric of the life they have built up.
If you hate your job, and are happy to give it up, fine, but it is not compulsary simply because finances permit.

Depends how much they won just a million won't last long as in a major city a nice flat or a small terraced house can be more than a million especially in parts of london, once you've done that, bought a car and had a good holiday there wouldn't be much left.from a couple of million.. if they were relatively young they may well need to work
oh the cruel irony!

Alot of people are quite happy with their lives and don't want to change them. What they don't have though is security.
In the event of redundancy, illness, or some other major change their outlook is bleak. Also, they may be looking forward to an old age of poverty even if nothing bad happens.
So the reason they do the lottery is because they're looking for security for them and their loved ones, not because they're looking for a life changing event.

I understand where you're coming from, but there's something else to consider...a lot of people have good mates with whom they work. Remember when you were a kid and you were off sick from school? The first couple of days were brilliant...but after a time, you begin to miss your friends.
I imagine the same would be true if you gave up work. You might devote yourself to charity work, who knows how fulfilling that would actually be?
