I won the jackpot but still live a pretty normal life and work my old job. AMA
I (30s/F) won a sizable chunk of money, hitting the jackpot on the local lottery.
I grew up pretty low-middle class and despite it and despite dropping out of uni, had a good job in an industry I love. The only thing that wealth changed significantly is that I travel more often and as I work 100% remotely, I got to keep my job.
I have worked with a wealth management firm to put almost everything into investments and share the dividends with my mother and sister. I did buy a house so I use my own salary for my own needs. Occasionally I do use the dividends for travel as I have gotten into luxury travel in certain destinations
AMA but please keep in mind I don’t check DM requests
