LUCKY
Documentary Feature (in post-production)
In association with Big Beach
From SPELLBOUND director Jeffrey Blitz and producer Sean Welch
US Documentary Competition, Sundance 2010
Is it luck or fate that causes some to hit the jackpot and others to spend a lifetime trying? What makes people certain that they’ll beat the extraordinary odds? Everyone dreams of winning the lottery, but what happens when someone actually does? And how do winners overcome a different set of odds – those that say most will be unable to deal with the instant, dramatic changes in their lives?
LUCKY takes an entertaining and candid look at the seduction of the lottery and what hitting the jackpot does to the winners. Veteran director Jeffrey Blitz (SPELLBOUND and 2007 Sundance Film Festival Director Award-winner for ROCKET SCIENCE) crisscrosses the country following winners as they navigate their newfound riches, and hopefuls who have a “dollar and a dream.”
