Just saw a story on one guy won 18mil and burned through it in a year, and was 1mil in debt at the end of a year.

I finally broke down and bought $20 worth of Powerball Quick Picks for the Wednesday drawing.

This is unfortunately the norm rather than the exception.
Read an article yesterday going into this lottery that MOST lottery winners deplete all of their winnings within 5 years.
Financial experts go so far as to recommend that you don't spend anything the first 6 months to a year. I don't believe you should go that far but you just need to be smart about it and work with advisers. If you plan to never work again with a large enough win, it should be fairly simple arithmetic budgeting for the rest of your life but for most there's too much temptation in this world for self control.
Maybe you won't have to go back to work?

I didn't bother buying any this time. For myself alone anyway. I am in the driver pool though.

Actually I am hoping that when I go back there will be a bid sheet up for a 22.3 job (preload/EAMs/ air driver) that I am seriously considering signing.
That's a big paycut

I wonder what a center would do if every driver in a center won a pool and all quit.

With just over 2 years left and an increasing number of minor injuries/ailments I have to start thinking about preparing for a healthy retirement.
That's why I got on the 9.5. List.

He never said that. What he was curious about was how would the center be able to replace an entire center of drivers within a 2 week period.
A few years ago we had a supervisor threatening us,that he was going to suspend us for gambling. We used to all put in $5 a week and buy tickets.
Off of the clock.

I know, but for those first couple of weeks you have big problems. You would bring in drivers from other centers first but you wouldn't be able to get nearly enough to fill all the routes. Never mind the slower production of them all running blind.
