Louis' LotteryLouis' Lottery
Synopsis:
Louis is a homeless man whose luck appears to have encountered a drastic turn-around when his number is picked in the million-dollar lottery. His best friend tells the story, revealing the deep friendship he developed with Louis in spite of their transient lives on the street. It seems that money -- even the illusion of it -- can create as many problems as it solves. A funny, moving, and gripping tale of two men struggling to get by.
