If you won the lottery would all your problems be solved?

I just saw a commercial on TV advertising the next lotto jackpot and watching the ad they seem to push the idea that winning the lottery means having freedom and bliss and happiness from now on.
I have to wonder of winning excessive amounts of money and not having to work is really even healthy for people?
Wouldn't most people just overindulge in everything and become sedentary?
I don't know?

If you won the lottery would all your problems be solved like they advertise?

    True happiness comes from being in love, knowing that there's someone out there for you no matter what, whether your pocket is full, half full or almost empty;)) Winning a lottery will enable you to avoid the basic miseries of life, having loads of spare cash doesn't make you very much happier than having very little.;))

    I wouldn't mind winning the lotto. It would certainly help with the bills and it would be awesome to get the house and cars all paid off. That would make things a lot easier. It would also be awesome to give this old grody shack a good remodeling and return it to its former glory!

    No. It would be too much work trying to spend all that money.

    For me, I think it would create problems that I don't have now.

    It definitely would change things around a bit.

  • I'm pretty shallow and base, so yes.  Without a doubt.

    I don't have any financial problems right now so, no. All my other problems would remain.  It would give me more financial options.

    I knew a guy who won the lottery and just two days later he met the love of his life. Talk about lucky!
