Two points:
1. The study does not say that 44% would stop working - they just wouldn't continue working in their current company/occupation, with a portion of them probably moving on to more fulfilling work (as opposed to living a life of pure leisure).
2. The stats refer to winning a lottery, which solves one's all financial problems and desires. Basic income does neither for a majority of people.
