I don't get the lowest 3 or 4 choices. 
- If it would only take $100 for you to quit, why wait to win it in the lottery?
- $10,000 would only generate $500 a year at a 5% return. Again, if that's all you're waiting for...
- $100,000 win; that's only $5,000 a year at a 5% return. You'd need to have a pretty good stash to start with, to have this amount put you over the top.
- $500,000; that's $25,000 a year at 5%. That's only slightly above the poverty level for 2011 in the U.S. ($22,350.) I'd guess that wouldn't replace the loss of income from their job for most folks on this forum.
