"Something to be thankful for
Be thankful that you haven’t won millions of dollars in the lottery. According to one study:
Study 1 compared a sample of 22 major lottery winners with 22 controls and also with a group of 29 paralyzed accident victims who had been interviewed previously
As predicted, lottery winners were not happier than controls and took significantly less pleasure from a series of mundane events. Study 2 indicated that these effects were not due to preexisting differences between people who buy or do not buy lottery tickets or between interviews that made or did not make the lottery salient.
Just look at Virginia and Wayne Metcalf, who won $65 million five years ago.
