To dismiss this as something we've all seen before is patently false. You don't often get to listen to people talk, in depth, about the problems of family - not just extended family but also immediate family. They speak very candidly about all of this and many other things. This is actually a refreshing view into the things that lottery winners go through.

Could have been better

Winning (2004)
** (out of 4)
A rather routine and bland documentary that takes a look at the lives of six people before and after winning the lottery. If you've seen one lottery winner talk about winning it big then you've seen everything this film has to offer. Some of the people interviewed are just downright boring while one Jesus freak comes off rather scary. Go buy a lotto ticket instead.
IFC plays this short a few times a year so you can check it out there. I should also mention they play better films so you might want to check something else out.
