It takes a million to be euphoric: Report

The old adage that money cannot buy happiness is wrong - but you need a windfall of at least £1m to be euphoric, according to new research.

A study by the University of Warwick in Britain found that receiving an inheritance or win of as little as £1,000 can improve people’s outlook on life, though less than £1m is unlikely to have a lasting effect on their happiness.

The research found a strong marriage and good health were more likely to make people feel content than money.
