You ALWAYS hear about people who win the lottery and then stay at their jobs . . . so they can keep on being nice, normal people who don’t rock the boat. So THIS is kind of refreshing . . .
A 50-year-old woman in southwest Michigan named Julie Leach came forward yesterday, after hitting the Powerball lottery for over $310 MILLION.
She’s worked at a fiberglass factory for almost 23 years, and says she was having a worse day than usual last week. She was on her lunch break when she checked the lottery numbers.
Then, after she had her co-workers double check them, she walked up to her boss . . . told him she didn’t need a raise anymore… and quit immediately. Right there on the spot. Which is what everyone always DREAMS of doing, but never does.
When a reporter asked about it, she called it a “nasty, dirty job”, and said she never even considered keeping it.
She’s taking the lump sum, so after taxes she’ll get about 140 million bucks.
