Lottery Winners Study

The Lottery Winners Study investigates how sudden wealth from winning the lottery affects individuals’ psychological well-being, financial stability, and social relationships. Researchers analyze winners over time to understand if and how their lives change, exploring factors like happiness, behavior, and financial decisions. The aim is to identify whether such windfalls lead to long-term positive or negative effects, helping inform both winners and policymakers about the potential impacts of unexpected large gains in wealth.
