If the winning numbers came up, would you continue with the day job?
A new report into lottery winners has found that almost one in five new millionaires continue with the day job.
The report from Oxford Economics, timed to coincide with the 3,000 new millionaire created by the National Lottery, found that 19% of £1m-plus winners continued with their job, while 31% took up unpaid voluntary work. However, 59% immediately gave up work.
The winners have also given the economy a boost, with 98% of their spending remaining in the UK. As a result, the report suggests that each winners keeps six person in a full-time job for a year, just through their spending.
So if you won the lottery, what would you do? And what would you do with the money?
