Synopsis
Who wants to be a millionaire? Even though lotteries offer the worst gambling odds, Canadians spend $7 billion a year on them, Americans $38.9 billion. But is winning the jackpot all that it's cracked up to be? While the 6 o'clock news brings us countless profiles of newly rich winners, few stories have focused on the longer-term transformation. In this powerful and moving documentary, filmmaker Catherine Annau tracks six lottery winners to find out how their lives have changed, for better or worse. Winning is an eccentric rags-to-riches, and sometimes back-to-rags story, of people who have caught the ultimate lucky break.
