Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that lottery winners tend to experience a temporary surge of happiness and excitement, but after the initial excitement wears off, they tend to return to their previous level of happiness. In fact, some lottery winners even report feeling more stress and anxiety due to the attention and pressure that comes with suddenly obtaining large amounts of money. Therefore, it is likely that Dewey will be about as happy as he was before he won the lottery one year from now.
