That would depend on the lottery prize amount. Current Powerball Jackpot is $161,000,000. I'm 61 and so that would be enough for me to retire very comfortable. after taxes the lump sum would come to about $72,450,000. But that does not mean I would just spend all day golfing and fishing. In fact I would go back to school and get a PhD in history and use that credential to convince publishers to publish some things on that topic that I want to write. They would not be popular fluff books but rather some rather dry books resulting from years of research in certain topics of which I am very familiar. I would also have more time for fiction. That would be enough money for me to set up scholarship funds for my nephews and nieces of which I have a few. If I'm still around after that and healthy enough I would probably set up some sort of a charity that I could participate in directly. It would probably be related to the homeless problem in some way.

It depends on the payout. I'd rather work the perfect job because just being given a lot of money would make me feel like a useless, pointless person. i want to actually contribute to society, instead of sitting around, getting lazy and fat (ter). Plus, working the perfect job would make me feel more like I'm giving back to society and actually helping people. I'd do something like run a d manage a company (possibly own it, but I know little about business management).
I'd only accept winning the lottery if it was $100 million or more, after taxes; anything less than that would make me feel like I didn't deserve it. But most people who win the lottery are bad with money to begin with and end up wasting it all. I've always been poor, but at the same end, I don't want just a bunch of money in life. I'd rather be worth something more, internally.
I'd win the lottery, then get into the railroad business. Screw profits, it would be an all-steam operation.

Win lottery buy some land rescue lots of animals, home them on the land employ staff and have it as a therapy centre where public come and see the animals, stroke, feed them example is a therapy dog it is a dog that is trained to provide affection, comfort and support to people, often in settings such as hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, schools, libraries, hospices, or disaster areas.
Dogs are not the only animals that can provide emotional support or therapy to humans. Many people keep and care for animals such as pigs, horses, and even snakes that help manage anxiety, boost self-esteem, and foster joy. Riding a horse or donkey, cuddling up with a rabbit, or feeding a carrot to a llama can help instill a sense of happiness, develop emotional stability and physical coordination, and re-establish a sense of purpose in life. And have a small lake built with running water for additional calming uses.Definitely would rather win the lottery. I'll just use the money to open a simple modest business, FAR, FAR AWAY FROM FAMILY..., that way my future is in my own hands and not someone else's and no one is making too much noise in my ears.
I've never tried Lottery in my life, so i'd take the perfect job. At least i'm already working inside a desired environment within the concept of my goals.
Perfect job since most people who win the lottery are misreble and piss all of there money away.
If I had a choice I'd prefer the dream job. Money isn't everything and you still have to think how you'd use it all, it can go real quick.
I would win the lottery. With my luck I would only be at the perfect job for a year before the budget gets cut and I get fired.
Lottery. Work is called work because it's not play.
I'd win the lottery and use the bulk of the proceeds to invest and build a business empire
Perfect job but since I already have my perfect job then lottery.
A Euromillions Superdraw jackpot would be amazing , esp as I'm a single dad.
Lottery - not that I ever play - I’ve worked enough and it has been years since I last vacationed.
Depends on how much I would actually net from the lottery - sometimes those big winnings shrink a lot thanks to the government.
I would rather win the lottery and invest in the stock market. It's better than working a 9-5 job.
Working at the perfect job would get me plenty of money if it means I get the skills to do it well.
Im a gambler... so even after winning the lottery, i keep gambling 😂😂
Work at the perfect job.
I'd rather win the lottery and start investing.
