Lottery-winning waitress plans to keep working

 

If you won a million bucks in the lottery, would you quit your job?

Waitress Alexandra Chaar says she’s staying put at a Clearwater Mexican restaurant.

"I love where I work," she told TBO.com.

Chaar, 21, won Florida’s $1 million Monopoly Scratch-Off Game. She’s taking a $700,000 lump sum from the Florida Lottery.

What does the St. Petersburg College student plan to do with her winnings?

Pay tuition, of course.
