People are not always happy when they win the lottery. People can make bad decisions or have terrible arguments with family and friends.
(Không phải lúc nào mọi người cũng vui khi thắng xổ số. Người ta có thể đưa ra những quyết định sai lầm và và có những cuộc cãi vã tệ hại với gia đình và bạn bè.)
Tạm dịch:
Vào cuối tuần trước, đã có ai đó mua một tờ vé số, chọn hết tất cả các con số chính xác và thằng hang triệu đô. Thật may mắn làm sao! Hoặc không. Vào thập niên 70 của thế kỷ trước, các nhà khoa học tại Đại học Illinois đã nghiên cứu về những người thắng xổ số và so sánh mức độ hạnh phúc với những người khác. Kết quả thật thú vị. Những người thắng cuộc cảm thấy vui mừng trong một thời gian ngắn, nhưng ngay sau đó, mức độ hạnh phúc của họ quay lại ở mức bình thường. Một nghiên cứu tương tự thực hiện tại Đại học California năm 2008 cũng cho ra kết quả tương tự. Họ quan sát những người thắng xổ số sau 6 tháng sau chiến thắng của họ và thấy mức độ hạnh phúc hoàn toàn bình thường. Và với một vài người kém may mắn hơn. Một chiến thắng xổ số khổng lồ lại là sự khởi đầu của đa số những rắc rối sau đó. Ví dụ, Alex Toth, thắng 13 triệu đô trong năm 1990. Anh ta nghỉ việc, tiêu xài số tiền đó nhanh chóng, và có những cuộc cãi vã tệ hại với gia đình và bạn của anh ta.
