Lottery wins raise marriage odds for single men but boost short-term divorce among married women - study
Winning a large lottery prize increases the likelihood that single men marry within five years, but raises the short-term divorce probability for married women, a study found. Researchers analysed 76,859 Swedish lottery buyers and tracked marriage, divorce and childbirth for up to 10 years among participants aged 18 to 44 at the time of winning. Effects varied by gender and pre-win income, while longer-term divorce increases were not confirmed.
