Beat the Lotto

The lottery has long been a beacon of hope for people seeking a chance at financial freedom and a better life. When Ireland introduced its National Lottery in 1986, it quickly captivated the public's imagination, becoming a symbol of trust and stability amidst social turmoil. Whitaker's documentary delves into this world by chronicling the gripping story of Stefan, an individual who dared to challenge the seemingly infallible system through his attempts to manipulate the lottery draw. As the nation grappled with the implications of such a brazen act, it was forced to confront questions about trust, integrity, and the allure of quick fortune. The film expertly weaves this thrilling real-life narrative into a broader exploration of the human need for belief and the power dynamics at play in our pursuit of prosperity.
