"The Robinsons, though, have all said they plan to be back at work Monday."

Are they still working or was that just a fantasy that their lives can continue just like before?


1- Wont everyone be asking them for favors?

2- Are they safe at work, as known multi-multi-millionaires?

I have not read about the winners, but perhaps they can't just walk out of their jobs until they give notice and transition someone because they are honorable people. Or maybe they want to continue their life in a grounded way instead of just abruptly changing everything.

Reminds me of that joke about the melamed who said "If you give me all of Rockefeller's money, I'd be richer than Rockefeller, because I'd still do some tutoring on the side."
Maybe they are decent people who believe you finish your obligations and give notice? If so, it is a sign that they may handle this win with better mental health than many lottery winners, who end up having miserable lives. Good luck to them!

With lots of mentally ill people and criminals around, some who would kill these days for ten dollars, who are very aware of the Robinsons' win, are the Robinsons safe, is my question?

Interesting how there are no news items on how theyre managing day to day with their overnight wealth and fame. Im wondering if theyre really going to work as planned.
