American female internet celebrity admits winning the lottery won’t make you happy.

In a recent news report from New York, a female influencer hit the jackpot in the lottery, a prize big enough to ensure she’d never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life. However, she expressed a sense of dissatisfaction, emphasizing that having money doesn’t necessarily equate to happiness. The more she spent on luxury brand products, the more unhappy she felt.

According to a report by the New York Post on March 19, the woman, named Alyssa Mosley, is in her twenties. She used to work in the fashion industry but is now engaged in creating online content.

Mosley shared that upon receiving this unexpected windfall, she promptly flew to Paris, France to shop for high-end fashion products from Chanel and other luxury brands. She spent two weeks there on a chic vacation, celebrating her lottery win.

She said, “I would go out every day to buy more bags, clothes, and shoes, but I still wasn’t happy.”

She further mentioned, “The more I bought, the unhappier I became.” Feeling emotionally empty, she ended this trendy vacation prematurely.

Although Mosley didn’t disclose the exact amount she won in the lottery, she told the New York Post that the money is sufficient to live comfortably without working and focus on her hobbies in the remaining years of her life.

In a short video posted on social media, she addressed her audience saying, “The more I buy, the faster the excitement fades.”

She stressed that possessing material goods is not the key to finding peace and happiness. Following the “overnight wealth” psychological effect, she discovered that true happiness comes from inner peace and faith in God.

Cases similar to Mosley’s, where winning the lottery didn’t bring happiness, have occurred before, such as that of Jay Sommers from Michigan.

Sommers won a $5 million lottery prize in 1988 at the age of 20, becoming Michigan’s youngest lottery winner. However, at over 50 years old now, he revealed that most of the money has been squandered due to continuous spending.

He expressed his regrets, mentioning that he is a ship repair technician, an ordinary person working the typical nine-to-five job. He lamented, “The lottery ruined my life.”

Across the Atlantic in the UK, there’s another woman who, despite winning, bemoaned the misfortune in her life and expressed she would rather not have won.

In a previous report by Dajiyuan, a British woman named Jane Park won a £1 million (approximately $1.22 million) EuroMillions lottery prize at the age of 17 in 2013, becoming the youngest lottery winner in the country and Europe.

She admitted to being somewhat reckless with her spending following the win. Apart from purchasing numerous luxury goods, she underwent cosmetic surgeries. However, her excessive procedures led to sepsis, requiring a month-long hospital stay for recovery. Moreover, her newfound fame subjected her to severe privacy violations, including stalking and death threats.

She said, “I wish I hadn’t won, and I don’t want others to win either.”
