Would you rather earn a million or win a million? Would it bother you?

So I could pay off the mortgage and the residual debts, drop to part time at work easily and invest in the hubs start up company.

Oh and this might not sound very MSE, but put enough to one side t put our only child through private school at secondary level. :cool:

Earn half and win the other half ;-)

Preferably the win first which will help with the earning bit (no rent to pay....!)
To that extent, even winning a quarter of a million would be fine and I'd then happily go on to earn the rest. May just be able to save £750 000 in the remainder of my working life if I could put aside what I save now + what we pay in rent.

I'd feel prouder if I had achieved it myself - like now, I feel immensely proud of where I am without any help from parents or any contacts and against all obstacles. If I just won the money it would be nice but I wouldn't have that sense of achievement.

Though... If I was to win a million I wouldn't turn it away!

I don't care a about a sense of achievement. It all spends the same to me. I don't care where money comes from.

WIN IT!!

I'd rather earn it. It means more to me if I have earnt it and am more careful how I spend it. If I'm given money I spend it like its going out of fashion.

I could live with a win of that size I'd cope with the absent sense of achievement and console myself with retail therapy lol
