I don’t expect Steve Jobs was especially happy when he was dying from cancer.
Ridiculous question.

Split up in 2 years or less, the big lottery win curse will strike again

Even with the curse, we’d all like to get our grubby paws on that loot, though.
There’s people who’d slit their Mother’s throat for a fraction of that.

Wouldn't really be arsed with it if I am honest mate, it causes more problems than it solvesEven with the curse, we’d all like to get our grubby paws on that loot, though.

Indeed.Money doesn’t make you happy but it makes things easier.
Although whenever I’m flush I’m always infinitely more happy.

To someone who doesn’t have enough, the answer is YES!
To someone who has enough to make them safe and secure, while enjoying their relationships with friends and family, the answer would be NO.
To someone who has so much that they’ve lost track of where it all is, the answer is always NO! However, don’t ever dare suggest they give any of it away!
Maslow’s hierarchy has it about right. Once we have what we need, we should be OK, but then we move into the realm of wants. Wants are harder, because they can be never ending, if you get into that spiral of “never enough.” However, I think all normal, well-adjusted humans reach a level of money that more changes their lives in no serious ways. Sadly, for too many, that is a number far greater than they have.
Money is NOT everything. Just met a guy who has no mortgage, owns two homes (one is a mansion on 10 acres in the country, the other is a lake house with two boats; fishing and skiing), a military retirement, a wife who is a practicing veterinarian, and sufficient excess income that most people would meet with envy. Brilliant, right?!
WRONG!
His troubled (always turns to alcohol) 21 year old son just hanged himself from the back patio deck overlooking the lake after drinking a bottle of whisky! Said he would gladly give it all up to get his son back.
Clearly, there are many, many things more important IN LIFE than money, but for those without it, money IS LIFE!

It's not, but it helps usually.
It would help with happiness but isn't the be all and end all.
What I would appreciate it for would be the removal of worrying. If I had a million quid in the bank, I would know that I had security in that if I lost my job or got ill and couldn't work, I could still pay the mortgage and bills

I know a lad who has loads of material things beyond most peoples dreams. He's spending over £10,000 on Christmas trees and decorations. But he and his wife are constantly arguing and falling out. He looks like he has the world on his shoulders. So answering the OP it's a no.

Is money everything no, but lack of money is the problem.
If you are single you can get by but with a mortgage and children lack of money is a day to day worry.
Your health is everything but a long spell of lack of money can really hurt your health.
To miss quote a genius earn £200 and spend £210 a week you live in hell
To earn £200 and spend £190 a week you are the happiest man alive.

Health is more important, without your health you have really nothing... just think of all the mega rich people who have died early, the money they had didn't do them much good did it.

One thing i wouldn't be doing is having my face in the media next to a cheque of that magnitude. I'd be remaining anonymous and telling no **** but my parents about it.

Shouldn’t be, but is to most. New and easy money makes for the most vulgar unnecessary indulgences and it’s pretty ironic this is being discussed on a football forum! The Ecclestone burglary - who needs £58 millions worth of jewellery? Only those stupid enough to keep it at home I suppose.

No, but it's better to be miserable and rich than miserable and poor. It's not a choice. You don't get to choose to be healthy/happy/in love - all these things a great in themselves but even better with money.
However - I really think there is a point at which you have enough money and really don't need more. You should be satisfied once you are secure and have most of the stuff you want. Working your balls off to get even richer often leads to misery in the long term. Easy to neglect the stuff that really matters.
