Are you fascinated by lottery winners? HBO, the premium movie channel from DISH Network has the perfect documentary for you! Tonight, the satellite TV channel is going to air ‘Lucky’ – a documentary film that encompasses the stories of a number of lottery winners. The documentary will go on air tonight at 9 PM.

C’mon, let’s face it! We have dream of winning the lottery at some point of time. The moment we purchase the ticket, we start thinking about how to spend that BIG money. ‘Lucky’ is a documentary which brings you some of the people who actually did win the BIG Bucks. Lucky is the story of those people and how the money affected their lives. Eminent director Jeffrey Blitz has directed this documentary.

The satellite TV documentary shows you some of the lucky people whose dreams came true. It also shows you how the winners’ lives can go topsy-turvy when they try to grope with their new elevated status in the world. Let’s hear what Blitz has to say about that – “People who suddenly come into a tremendous amount of money without any preparation are left struggling to come up with a new way to live. They become unmoored. And the world around them closes in. Finding your place on the spectrum of self-interest to altruism is one of the discoveries that the winners have to make.” Money clearly isn’t everything!

Let us meet some people whom you will meet in the HBO documentary series ‘Lucky’ -

• Quang, a Vietnamese immigrant who was a Nebraska Plant worker who won $22 million.
• James, a loner who spent his last $3 to buy food for his cats and a Powerball ticket! He won more than $5 million!!!
• Kristine and Steve won a whopping $110 million (I wish I would have won some of those billions, Sigh! I guess I am not that lucky) in the Pennsylvania Lottery. Phew!!!
• Robert, a Berkeley mathematician who won $22 million
• Buddy, a local hero after saving a boy from a burning building, won $16 million in lottery but that money ruined his life.
• Verna, a Delaware woman who spends $100 a day (well, sometimes) on lottery without any luck for the past 30 years! At last my kind of people – the hopeless optimist sort!

The satellite TV documentary ‘Lucky’ will also provide you with some fascinating factoids about the lottery industry. Did you know, the industry makes $62 billion annually, which is even more than the money Americans spent on movies and sporting events together. Do you know that some of the winning money are never claimed? And that includes a 2002 Powerball prize worth $51.7 million. I think I have kept that ticket somewhere … and forgot! No point is checking back. I am damn so very careless in money matters! But see I told you I am a hopeless optimist!

Ah talking about ‘Lucky’ reminds me that, HBO has show green signal to Dustin Hoffman’s new series on horse racing ‘Luck’! The series has begun shooting in fall and will be on satellite TV somewhere soon. So I guess we are pretty lucky to have both ‘Lucky’ and ‘Luck’ on the premium DISH channel HBO.

So guys let’s get ‘Lucky’ for sometimes and ‘Luck’ will follow!!!
