The jackpot has topped $1 billion, officially making it the second highest jackpot ever and the highest ever Mega Millions jackpot.
"Large-prize winners experience sustained increases in overall life satisfaction that persist for over a decade and show no evidence of dissipating with time," the researchers concluded.
Researchers discovered that for those who won at least $100,000 in the lottery happiness and mental health wasn't significantly impacted.
With that, don't broadcast to the world that you just won the lottery, don't be afraid to ask for help with a financial planner, and instead of splurging on an airplane or a yacht, place a significant portion of the winnings in an emergency fund, a high-interest earning savings account and/or a retirement account, such as a 401(k).
