The rollovers have begun! After no tickets matched the winning numbers on Tuesday night, the jackpot rolled over from $40 million to a brilliant $50 million. Earning $10 million in one night is quite the feat, especially considering the average British yearly wage is around £27k. So what are you waiting for? Start playing US Powerball now and you could be a millionaire by this Saturday!
Would You Continue to Work If You Won the Lottery?
Taking the average yearly salary of approximately £27k, you would have to work for over 1175 years to save up $50 million (£31.7 million)! So if you won the Powerball jackpot, would you immediately quit your job or keep life as normal as possible? While it seems like 99% of people would quit their jobs, most lottery winners actually do continue to work. In a study of lottery winners from Iowa and Ohio, 63% percent decided to maintain their jobs. Another 10% started their own businesses. The rate of winners who kept their jobs went down when the jackpots were higher, but the average prize of employed lottery winners was a respectable $2.6 million. So would you start a dream business? Go back to school and pursue a career you’ve always wanted to have? Or sit back and relax on a tropical island, care- and job-free?
