Ron Elliot has just won a jackpot of £8m but he has vowed to continue working, despite being rich enough to retire immediately.
The care worker, who earns £15,000 a year, said he had no plans to hand in his notice.
Then this low of the lowest greedy idiot

Michael and Jean O’Shea won £10.2million on the lottery, they promised: ‘We’ll never be any different, no matter how much money we have.’
More than six years later, the couple remain true to their word.
They still occupy the three-bedroom ex-council house they were living in when their numbers came up – and Mr O’Shea still claims around £6,000 a year in benefits.
Why do these idiots play the lottery is they dont want to change their lives? :mad::rolleyes:
My favouirte lottery winner so far was one of the 12 Corby bus driver syndicate who won a combined £38m. He was on mid shift when he was alerted that he won the lottery. He parked the bus and told passengers they would have to wait for another driver/bus as he wont be going any further. He quit there and then. What man!

As to the couple - the benefit they claim is DLA and is not means tested.
I think you are just jealous.
Are you green OP?
The second are just greedy whether entitled or not, sorry.
Great story but what made him think that "alert" wasn't a wind-up by a colleague? If it was then he should have been sacked.
Most people enter the lottery to win life change amounts of money. I dont know why these people bother playing if they're already happy in their jobs. Maybe they do it for tax reasons
the first bloke built a mansion in Ireland and the second bloke for all we know might be an International playboy in his spare time now :cool:
How do you know the first man hasn't made large donations to charities? Also jobs as care assistants are 10 a penny (round here at least) so maybe there wouldn;t be anyone waiting to fill his shoes.
In the case of the second couple, although their benefits aren't means tested, I do think they should make the choice not to clain them any more.
Some benefits, such as DLA aren't means tested. Even David Cameron claimed it for his son.
As for the second couple, taking benefits AND keeping the council house when you've got millions is selfish scummery of the highest order.
Edit; Just seen it's an ex council house. My position still stands and if it were me i'd donate it back to the council so that a family who actually needs it could benefit.
It's NOT a council house, it's an ex council house, indicating it is now a privately owned property.
Just edited my post.
The other couple are just greedy pedants IMO
Well said!!
i am pleased to see he enjoys his job as a care worker but if he doesn't require the job he could give it up as there are so so many unemployed in this country, maybe he could volunteer his time
Yes, and a lot of people work because of the social side of things. His social life could revolve around his friends from work. A few years back I would have had the same attitude if I'd won the lottery as I was in a job I loved and had a lot of friends there.
Now, well I would give up straightaway!
Have you considered the people the First man is a carer for.
Don't you think it would be better for them to continue getting care from a friendly familiar face who knows their needs rather then a complete stranger?
Hmmmm .... :rolleyes:
Twitter rumours claimed ... He was on mid shift when he was alerted that he won the lottery. He parked the bus and told passengers they would have to wait for another driver/bus as he wont be going any further. He quit there and then.
... and, as well all know by now "Twitter rumours claimed ... " means "The next bit is bullsh*t"!
From a somewhat more reliable source ... "The rumours that a driver quit mid-shift "was a load of sh*t", says one of the winners. In fact, the drivers learned of their win late in the evening, and no one was working at the time."
My feeling too.
