I'd have later hours, but I'd at least finish up this summer's worth of projects. I work at a university, and there are systems that would fail, having detrimental effects on the classroom experience for a lot of people.
If I won the lottery jackpot, I'd have a lawyer set up a blind trust from which I could draw money without my name being linked to it, with inheritances set up for family and friends in case of my untimely death. I would continue in my job after quietly paying off family bills and debts under the pretense that I had won a few hundred thousand dollars and not tell anyone that I had won a large sum, thereby avoiding people bumming money or trying to extort it from me. I would live modestly and donate generously to charities and community programs on behalf of people who I feel deserve recognition. I'd have a nice house and a few expensive cars, and take vacations with friends and tell them I'd won a trip for a bunch of people. I'd keep this job until I felt my work here was done.
