Like they say -- money can't buy happiness but it sure can make being miserable a lot more tolerable.

A Few Years ago the BBC did a documentary on Lottery Winners in the UK. Most were in worse shape than when they won. 2 were dead from overindulgence. 6 had spent the money and gone further into debt than before. Only a very few were smart enough to invest and still had some money. All said the MONEY was not worth the headaches and "mysterious relatives" that just show up after the win. not to mention all the charities that bugged them

No, because the government takes like half the winnings for taxes, then you'll get uber numbers of telemarketers and credit card companies calling you afterwards, wanting to sell you this and that. Then you will have your family frantically scrappling for their share, then your friends... that ex from your past that you haven't heard from in 20 years, your baby's daddy will come crawling out from under his rock... and then there will be your general poor ability to maintain a normal balance in the checking account. After a while, this will all just become too exhausting and you will retire to a small island in the Carribean, with a good book, a crate of rum, some limes, and give the remainder to a charity of your choice. But hey, what do I know?

Not no, but hell no! Life may be easier with a lottery win, but life's problems are eternal and that means they will always be there to work out a solution. It would only make me happy by being able to pay off all my debts and to help some folks I know with their debts.

Yes! Money is the key to anything in life. Except love, which I still can't find.

In short...no. However, don't let anyone lie to you. Having enough money to be comfortable is very nice.
You will still have all the same problems though...life is a ***** and then you die. Just try to have a little fun along the way.

Financially yes, but if you have personal problems with family and friends then that's another story on it;s own, depending on the person. Having people you love to be around to spend it with would be nice, But money can't buy happiness...@ lease for some people'

I think it wouldn't solve all the problems, maybe bringing other difficulties too, but sure it will help something's to improve, like life standarts

First of all, I do buy lotto tickets occasionally, I would not be so ignorant to say that it would SOLVE all problems. however, As long as I share with others and did not hord it all for myself, yea, I'd be happy.... I like to share and help others out.....
