Critics Consensus

There's a worthwhile message at the heart of Lottery Ticket, but it's buried under stale humor, tired stereotypes, and obvious clichés.

Felt like this film was on a leash the entire time, didn't ever get to explore anything new and funny. Avoid unless you enjoy stale humor

No doubt the characters are stereotypes, but the performances are handled with a knowing wink and a great deal of fun.

it has about 40 minutes of story and needs to be padded out to its 99-minute running time

A tasteless and obnoxious "comedy," "Lottery Ticket" is easily one of the year's worst films.
