Lottery winner to keep job/It's the KFC Double downs fault
Seriously! Keep your job? Like hell! And with that kind of money, why not give the job up for someone that actually needs it then?

What do you do when you win $266 million? If you’re like Jacki Cisneros, the answer is self-evident: You go to work.

That’s where the newest Mega Millions lottery winner was early Thursday morning — and where she plans to continue to be.

“I can’t imagine not working. It’s a foreign concept to me,” Cisneros told TODAY’s Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira from the newsroom of KNBC television in Los Angeles, where she was finishing her shift as an overnight assignment editor.

The jobs will simply be handed off to someone who is perceived to be more deserving of it.

4. Yeah, I'd be nice to my job and give them notice.
But then I'd turn around and use the money to start my own business, create a few more jobs. That way I can keep working, and I can help others do the same.

Actually I'd probably start two businesses... but that's just me. :P
