The Plot…

Late night at a small convenience store a customer discovers that he has a winning lottery ticket for $156 million.  He makes a big deal about it and everyone in the store hears he has the big winner.  A drug dealer (Cloud) pulls a gun and demands the ticket.  The two argue. A security guard pulls his gun and tells crook to drop his.

The two exchange shots.  The security guard’s shot kills the ticket holder.  The crook’s shot takes out the security guard.  The thug then gathers everyone in the store.  They include a pregnant woman, her lover, and the store owner.  Fearing that they will all be killed, the store owner tells the thug he will never get to cash the ticket.  He reasons that if thug kills them all, there will be no explaining how he got the winning ticket.  If he doesn’t kill them, they could talk.  BUT if he splits the winnings with him, they can help him get rid of the two bodies and come up with a plausible story about the winning ticket.

The best laid plans…

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Angus Cloud was excellent as the drug dealer/robber.  Sadly, he died before the film’s release.

Your Lucky Day (2023) rates 4 of 5 stars.
