Financial windfall may not blow away all your troubles.

Who would continue working if they came into some lottery money? 

Apparently, more than 77 per cent of those surveyed by Accountemps said they would continue working even after a financial windfall.

Out of the total sample, 36 per cent said they would continue working in the same position even after inheriting money or winning the lottery.

In a survey, done on more than 450 workers in the United States, and their answers to the question, “If you were to suddenly strike it rich, which of the following best captures your attitude about work?” were tallied under four categories.

Those who would quit working if they inherited money comprised only 23 per cent of all those surveyed. Those who would like to stay at their current job counted 36 per cent of the sample. Combined with the 41 per cent who said they would move to a better job, a majority of those surveyed would continue working despite the change in their financial status.
