Will A Lotto Win Make You Happy?






Now...the big question I bet you all wanted to know - does a big win make us happy?

You'll be happy to know it does.

According to a recent survey from the British Camelot Group Plc which runs the lottery there, over 70% of Lotto winners say that they are happier now than before their win. The rest - 28% of all winners surveyed - say that they are just as happy as they were before the win.

Whatever they won, large or small, does not seem to make a difference to the levels of happiness they experienced. Those who have won $3 - $9 million are just as happy as those who have won more.

The main reasons for the increase in happiness are:

  • Having greater security and no money worries (57%),
  • They can buy what they like (28%) and
  • Being able to look after their family and friends (12%)
