If you won 2 million dollars in the lottery would you become an entirely different person?

The only way I would become a different person would be if I left the house and got a job, and having 2 million dollars would be very effective at preventing me from doing that.

I would buy a small house for myself, the bare essentials (of course that includes a computer and internet), and then I'd get cosy and see how many decades I could go without leaving the house.

Peace of mind. You can help many, you can be the nicest guy in town, you can get the best psychologists and religious help, drugs... and that does not necessarily mean you won't be a mess inside because there is more than chemical imbalance and external influences to it. Even if you can afford the best security, you can still be paranoid. Even if your wife has been with you for years, and you've known each other since you were kids... it doesn't mean she can't just leave you or betray you. You can take all vaccines you want and still die from a simple disease because viruses mutate.

All in all, it's not that bad. But even trying to sedate yourself could not work all that great, so there's that.
