I'd keep working too. We'd honestly probably do some investing with most of it, save for retirement, C's college and/or wedding fund, etc. We live pretty simply and I don't think that would change.

I would get bored staying home all day, but I wouldn't continue working in my current job - the commute is too terrible to do if I don't have to. I'd probably try and find another part time job.

I definitely would NOT quit my job. I love my job and the work I do. But I probably WOULD try to work part-time instead of full-time, especially once the baby is here.
Hubs and I really want to teach our children to have a strong work ethic, which I think you can totally do as a SAHM, but I know I wouldn't be as effective at it as I would be as a WOHM.
I'd much rather continue working and just hiring a house keeper to keep the house clean so I don't have to do that anymore, haha.

I'd probably quit my job and start my own company after spending some time travelling the world.

I don't mind the idea of working, I would just want to be the boss. So I would definitely quit my job and either start a non profit or for profit business and make myself President and CEO

So evidently I'd have to quit.... I'm a nurse and the girls at work told me we can't keep our jobs if we win. Which sucks cuz I love my job!

No. First thing we would do is pay everything off -- credit cards, student loans, auto loan, mortgage -- and buy DH a new car. Then we'd have to make a plan. I'm not saying I'd keep working forever, but I wouldn't quit right away

I said I'd quit and Wagon Sr. said "but you'd be bored!" I would probably take a break for a year or two, then do some training to become a web developer and freelance. I'm one of those people who always needs to be working.... dumb...
Wagon Sr. would not quit his job, but having more money would certainly help us speed up the process of him getting his graduate degrees! full time, live in nanny anyone?!?

Hmm... Yes. But I would still want to either get another fun part-time job or work with a charity. I wouldn't be able to just stay at home all the time because I would get so bored! If we had kids it would be a different story.

I don't work right now but man I would higher a cleaning lady in a heart beat!!!!
I know sad right? Millions of dollars and all I can think to do with it is have someone else do the cleaning.

I wouldn't quit, but I would give up my position and just work casual when I felt like it, just enough to keep my license probably!

oh yeah. i would give one week notice to train someone at my day job because i am literally the ONLY person who knows how to do my job, but otherwise, i only have 3 weeks left on maternity leave and i'm not exactly jamming to come back.
i wouldn't quit photography though. i love it way too much! just probably be way more selective about which jobs i took!
