I think a real change would constitute being able to either quit your job completely and just "live" or quit to do something you love, no matter what the pay (unless, of course, that's what you do now). My estimate is about $10mil spent/invested very wisely or about double that to just live and be very comfortable without going overboard. That's US$.

That's changing your lifestyle. It's not permanent, but then life isn't permanent. If you’re making $100K a year, winning $50K means you can take a 6 month vacation. That’s changing your lifestyle.

Semler said something interesting: "I once worked it out - after $12 million, all millionaries are the same." That'S because we're all humans, confined to human scale. How many homes can you live in? How many meals can you eat? You can have a living room the size of a cathedral, but you won't live in it. It's too big." :) Ricardo Semler worked it out once:
