06/03/2014 The fascinating thing is not that these people won the lottery, but what happens to them after that. See more 12/23/2013 An interesting look at lottery winners and what happens to them afterwards. The problem is that nothing seems terribly surprising. A lot spend money on crap that they don't need. Others fall out with wives, friends and family over the winnings. Perhaps we didn't need the documentary to tell us that. See more 11/25/2011 can i have some? felt happy watching this, but also bitter, and might have been nice to cover some winners who weren't trashy? See more 08/16/2011 NOT VERY GOOD... and I say that with the kindest words I can find for this documentary. Aside from throwing a few statistics at us at the beginning, it's basically a few interviews with some people who have won the lottery, ranging from a few million to a hundred million + and it seems, with an emphasis on how the lives of these people don't change. Don't recommend it See more 07/27/2011 This documentary is not about 'god' or how 'Lucky' these select few are. It is however, a documentary which displays the transformations that people go through. From the beginning we are introduced to five very dynamic characters who all come from different walks of lives. A Vietnamese Immigrant who works day in and day out to provide for his children, A traditional conservative American family who value no change, A unwell retired man, A huffy looking middle aged man, and of course the average American citizen who lives power ball. 'Lucky' than takes us through the lives of each and every one of these people. Showing us what values and beliefs each person who won had. Some wanted little change, a lot, to win, and to even give it all back and wish for it to never have happened. We are than fast forwarded a year. We witness how people change through money. And we are left comparing each and every one of these peoples lives. Wondering which category we would fit in. 'Lucky' shows us all the possible roads we may take if winning the lottery or not winning at all. The values and beliefs we may take upon. Whether that be family, greed, self worth, and maybe not changing at all. See more 07/17/2011 It's a pretty interesting docementary, and to see what happens after a middle-class family wins 314 million. See more Read all reviews
