Despite winning the Ohio lottery, a teacher does not plan to step down

This story Is very interesting since a Millersburg Ohio Head Start school teacher named Brenda Simpson played a $20 dollar lottery ticket called Fabulous Fortune which made her $5 million dollars richer after the drawing on August 29. Brenda's fellow teachers asked her if she plans to step down from her teaching job now that she is in possession of a small fortune after she collects the net lottery prize money after the Federal and state taxes are paid up from the gross amount of the winnings. Brenda has asked her husband to retire from his job since she won the prize money. That will be interesting to see if Brenda's husband will honor the request of his wife or not. Brenda has the option to accept a lump sum of the $5 million dollars or accept $250,000 for the next 20 years. In my view, Brenda will likely be asked by close friends and relatives to bai them out since they are likely down on their luck in terms of money. I am only hoping that Brenda uses her skills to take her of new found winnings not that she won a huge lottery payoff which can either make or beak anyone.
