Depends where the pawns are.

As long as the pawns aren't very close to queening, it's still winning. In the first position, you can probably pick up 4 pawns in the first 5 or so moves.

I've seen chess hustlers do this in bars; offering to take either the queen or the pawns for a friendly wager.  Begone, fool!
