As a business or as a career person who is also into gambling/betting, would you quit your current business or career if you won the same amount of money from gambling/betting?
I do business, If I win that amount of money, I will invest in the business I do, and get more machines, a better space and even consider selling raw material for the business I do so that other people who the same business as I will come to buy materials from me. I can choose to start up another thing or relocate to another place for safety, but I will not just close up my business.
For people who quit the job or stop their businesses, they probably did not have long term plans for their businesses while others did not love their career or business, but were just using it to pass time and survive like the pastor was running a church business because he knows how religious some Africans can be.
