Do I look happy? YOU BET!! Because that money enabled me to leave a relationship that was becoming abusive and start fresh in a place of my own. Also, my ex's reaction when I won the money was telling. he was NOT pleased. He got angry- thought it should have been him.
Here's an article that backs up what I have been saying:

NEW YORK - Does money buy happiness? It's sometimes said that scientists have found no relationship between money and happiness, but that's a myth, says University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener.
The connection is complex, he says. But in fact, very rich people rate substantially higher in satisfaction with life than very poor people do, even within wealthy nations, he says.
"There is overwhelming evidence that money buys happiness," said economist Andrew Oswald of the University of Warwick in England. The main debate, he said, is how strong the effect is.
Oswald recently reported a study of Britons who won between $2,000 and $250,000 in a lottery. As a group, they showed a boost in happiness... compared to their levels two years before they won.
As Freya Aswynn says: "Money does not solve all problems, but it makes most problems bearable!"
