Family / Woman Quits Factory Job - And So Do Her Children - After $310m Lottery Win by vivianblog2(f): 3:40pm On Oct 07, 2015

The Story about Grandmother quits factory job - and so do her children - after $310m lottery win , No more night shifts at the fibreglass factory. In fact, no more work whatsoever.

A Michigan grandmother, her partner and her two adult children, have all quit their jobs after she won $310.5m on the lottery.

Julie Leach, 50, took home a one-time lump payment of $197.4m, or $140m after taxes, as she claimed her prize at the Michigan Lottery headquarters on Tuesday.

“I’m going to take care of my kids,” Ms Leach said, according to NBC. “I don't want them to have to work like I had to work and deal with the kinds of things I had to deal with over life. I just want to make it a good life for them, take care of them.”

She discovered she had won when she checked her numbers at the drive-thru line during her lunch break at a local McDonald’s. She was working an overnight shift at the fiberglass factory where she has worked for about 23 years and was having a “really bad night”.

“I’ll go visit, but I don’t want to work there no more,” she said.

Ms Leach had the option of an an annual payment over the next 30 years, or a smaller lump sum. She opted for the latter.

Her partner of 36 years and fellow factory worker, Vaughn Avery, had suggested she pick up some tickets on the way into work. The winning ticket came in $20 worth of Powerball tickets she bought with a cup of coffee from a local petrol station.
