R4 Billion is up for grabs tonight! So you should get your lotto tickets HERE. But will a lottery win solve all your problems and make you happy? Its an age old question. Well, lucky for us, Princeton Professors Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton have put a lot of time and effort into researching this question, and have come up with an answer. Turns out, it depends how you define happiness. If you define happiness as “overall satisfaction with life”, then yes, money does increase your happiness level. However, if you define it as “satisfaction from day-day life”, then money, unfortunately, does not buy you happiness. Don’t worry, we’ll explain…

Let’s say you invest your lotto billions into starting a business. You’ll be facing a lot of day-to-day problems and headaches, decreasing your overall happiness, or as Biggie put it, “mo money, mo problems”. Having that extra dough can get you those lekker gadgets you’ve had your eyes on and buy you those tickets to the exotic locations you’ve always wanted to go to. BUT, having nobody to go to these places with and nobody to take photos of with your new super-sexy SLR camera, you’re going to feel pretty unhappy nonetheless. Basically, friendship is what brings you happiness. Sharing awesome moments with awesome peeps, loving and feeling loved brings you an overall satisfaction with life, and by definition, happiness.

So get your lotto tickets (get them HERE) and make sure you spend your money wisely. But lets be honest, if you win that 4 billion bucks, you’re not going to break down and cry, pretty sure you’ll be happy. Don’t miss this life-changing opportunity – click HERE!
