    Can $500 million make you happy? Not really

    By Melissa Dahl, NBC News
    You surely know by now that the Powerball jackpot is set to hit at least $500 million tonight. You should also know that your odds of winning the grand prize are somewhere around 1 in 176 million (at least, we really hope you know that). So here's a bit of comfort for you tonight as you stare dejectedly at your losing ticket: Most lottery winners don't end up any happier than the rest of us.

        People who win big in the lottery and are not happy afterwards, are people who doesn't have a plan. The wife and I have been planning for our "big" win whether it's $10m or $500m. The plan doesn't change.

            I want my chance at not getting 'happier than the rest of us.'
            The same type of thinking that created a problem cannot be used to solve the problem.
