“I don’t want to just sit there, get fat, and let my brain turn to mush.”

On a related note to our post yesterday about people working into their retirement, did you know that a good majority of $1-million plus lottery winners keep on working, whether that’s at their old job, a new job, or launching a new business?

As Yahoo News columnist Steve Mertl reports, the 50-something Ontario couple who won last weekend’s Lotto Max draw – $25 million! – don’t plan on retiring any time soon.

And the Toronto electrician who took home $50 million from the same lottery last May also continues to work. “I don’t want to just sit there, get fat, and let my brain turn to mush,” he told a news conference.
