There was no hesitation from Oliver Kaeser of Switzerland. Quitting his day job would be the start. After that: 'Not working for two years' while enjoying glorious sun-kissed holidays and long-deserved freedom.

Canada's Michael Wywrot on the other hand chose instead a more prudent approach to his potential winnings: investing in real estate was first on his list, with greater plans to amass future interest on his winnings.

Study: Legalize and Regulate Online Gambling
