        People who claim that a billion-dollar jackpot can’t buy happiness are shopping at the wrong stores, and I’d be happy to offer my services as a guide.

        Same here. I'd fly first class, always take my doggie, get an apartment in Paris across from my favorite cafe, have Friday night nerd salons w/fab food & wine, and build a house with a campground of Chateaux Marmont-esque guesthouses around it so friends could come stay for free.

        Thank you so much! PS I hope you'll read the current one, my "science-help" book, "Unf*ckology: A Field Guide to Living with Guts and Confidence." http://amzn.to/2fFdl2c  Best thing I've ever written -- science made highly practical.

        You can't buy happiness. But you sure can rent it for a while. :)

        I'd be very happy. Even after taxes itll be more than enough money 2 never have 2 worry about work & money ever again. That removes 90% of life's issues off the bat. Biggest challenge in winning this is doing it anonymously so not 2 be hounded & be allowed that happily ever after

        I know that in Ohio they allow winners to have a law firm claim it on their behalf so that their names and pictures don't get publicized. Not sure about other states

        True. I hear it has become more common. I think NY allows this. A welcomed issue to have of course lol

        I know right? I would gladly throw a couple million at a law firm as a retainer to avoid having to deal with scammers and the odds 9th cousin twice removed on my grandpappy George's side

        Mega clickbait title. The article basically states "you won't be happier per se, but your life will be better. You'll be more satisfied with life and usually don't have financial issues. " So... it's still better than not winning it. Dunno what they were trying to get at.
