Is it always a bad thing to win the lottery? Of course not! Stephen Danish, a Psychology professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, discusses how to handle winning that money properly. He has been named an expert in this field and personally advises lottery winners. He guarantees that he can tell whether a person is going to be happy after winning or not based on what they plan to do with the money. Those who only can talk about what they are going to buy with the money generally end up miserable. On the contrary, those who talk about what they want to accomplish with the money and goals end up achieving that and remaining happy. "What are your goals, plans, and ambitions?", asks Danish. If you cannot answer these questions prior to winning, then you should not be buying a ticket because it will only result in misery.
