thrilled

An excited and happy feeling that can make you bounce with enthusiasm, "thrilled" is what people often feel when they experience something incredible.

When someone says they were thrilled to get tickets for their favorite concert or thrilled to win a competition, it means they felt an intense happiness and excitement. They probably couldn't stop smiling or talking about the event. You might be thrilled too if you won a prize or got a surprise party planned just for you! The feeling of being thrilled is usually short-lived, but it can stay with you long after the initial excitement has passed, making memories that last.
