A BAD funky stink.<BR/><BR/>But the most I've ever held was probably a $22K gift check for my condo down payment. And after that was a check for $750K paying an accounts receivable at work, for which I got a $1K bonus for collecting. But I don't really count that one since it wasn't anything to do with me. Though strangely I had a dream about winning the lottery the night before that check arrived.mapgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06141234159609900257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1146440290783618452006-04-30T19:38:00.000-04:002006-04-30T19:38:00.000-04:00Because I worked for a real estate attorney, I did...Because I worked for a real estate attorney, I did hold some large checks and none are memorable. A million or so was probably the largest.<BR/><BR/>More fun was the one actually made out to ME in the amount of about $32,000, which was my severance pay when that same boss retired.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, my finances were in such a shambles between my having stayed there too long at low pay and being the single mother of three kids, so it didn't last long, but I did get out of debt and I re-roofed my house.<BR/><BR/>(Then there was more financial chaos later when it turned out he had underwithheld from that check by about $3000 and I had to pay IRS...)<BR/><BR/>Lots of us have jobs where we get to touch big money, as shown by the stats in your poll. It would be interesting to know how many actually touched big money that was theirs!Bittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328808801958155196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1146437657040065932006-04-30T18:54:00.000-04:002006-04-30T18:54:00.000-04:00A check for about $1.2M; my dad was making a bank ...A check for about $1.2M; my dad was making a bank deposit for his business.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1146365147467741652006-04-29T22:45:00.000-04:002006-04-29T22:45:00.000-04:00Professionally- a check for $115,000 (I sell boats...Professionally- a check for $115,000 (I sell boats).
