MONTREAL, QC -- A man who is to maintain anonymity for security reasons, Hazan Zehabi, 34, won the $60-million Lotto Max jackpot and vowed not to let the money get into his head. Unlike most overnight millionaires who would decide to quit their jobs instantly, Zehabi who works in a steel fabrication site, assured his boss that he would render a 2-week notice resignation. "A lot of people in my shoes would just dump their immediate resignation letters to their bosses and walk away," he told media. "That's not me. I can wait until they find my replacement and even train him," the soft-spoken Zehabi said. "All the multi-million dollar houses, fancy sports cars, and even the casinos in Vegas can all wait. I'm in no hurry." His colleagues who describe him as "moody and difficult," feel that working with him for 2 more weeks is an eternity and knowing that his bank account is overflowing doesn't make things any better. "His act of altruism makes my position awkward," his supervisor said. This is because the company is supposed to lay off 20% of their workforce today and Zehabi is definitely one to be sacked. "Do I just wait until he is gone on his own in 2 weeks or do I lay him off now? This is a hard decision to make because you just can't pull the plug on a guy who is so selfless," the confounded supervisor spoke. Despite his well-deserved achievement in the field of multi-million dollar lottery, the seemingly unaffected Zehabi adds that not only will he stay with the job for 2 more weeks, he intends to continue to live in his 2-bedroom apartment with 3 other housemates until the weekend but pay his rent's share for the whole month. "I don't mind at all. I should be fair. It's not like they can find another housemate overnight," a poised and well-mannered Zehabi has assured them.
