If you won the lottery, and won enough to comfortably live for the rest of your life without working, would you retire?

Why/why not?
 
I wouldn't, instead i'll try to form my own company.

I might wanna contribute with something and not just spending money.. not a life i would like to live..
 
Absouletely. I would love to live a life where I don't have to wake up at the same time every weekday and work. I would love to just travel around the world and do whatever I wanted to.
 
If I won that amount of money I do what my dreams are and do what I want to do ;) Even if it makes me money.
 
I'd retire and buy a house out in the country. I'd sleep in every day and figure out what I'd want to do with the rest of my life.
 
Too right I'd retire.. Although I'd probably volunteer and do something more worthwhile of my time instead, just to keep a bit of normality with life more than anything. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, but all play and no work makes Jack a drunkard.. ?

Yeh get involved with NPOs and probably have a small side business to keep the money floating instead of drying out.
 
Yes, I have more than enough games and anime to keep me busy daily. Then I would go spend more time with people I know.
 
No absolutely not. I really rather enjoy my job. That is why I picked it, that is why I stay. If I hated or even consistently disliked it I would’ve left long ago for something else. We spend much more of our life working (if holding a full time job) then we do anything else. I would never tolerate something I disliked taking up the majority of my life.

If I won the lottery what I would do with it would depend on the amount. Is it changing as in $3–10 million? Or functionally unlimited like $10m +? If it was a life changing amount that would at least triple my net worth, I would quietly invest it and change essentially nothing about my life. I’m happy now, no need to kick over the table if I’m already winning. I might just buy a few fancier or newer versions of the things I have now, all from newly generated passive income after the first year.

But quit my job? No, that I enjoy and would keep.
 
I would retire. Absolutely!

Who wouldn't want to go out and do whatever they wanted instead of slaving away at a job? Especially if you don't like that job in the first place?
 
I'd adapt what I do and start a company doing it in a different way from the company I currently work for, and I would work hours decided by me, mostly remotely and travel while doing so.
 
I would, of course, who wouldn't if they won the lottery? I'd jet off somewhere nice.
 
Even if I win or not, I do not want to retire from work. It would be a job to work for my own company.
 
I am a freelancer. I would work as long as I am physically and mentally fit.
