Lottoschein ins Glück

"Bad luck in the game, luck in love": Astrid Seibel knows the saying, of course - but until now she did not know that the two seem to be linked. The mother of two children, who has just been left by her unfaithful husband, actually types six correct numbers in the lottery, but the receipt for the lottery ticket disappears. The lucky finder is her new chance acquaintance Felix, who at first has no idea whose winnings he is holding in his hands. When he finds out, it is already too late: Astrid already knows that he has kept the lottery win from her.

Directed by Dirk Regel, Lottoschein ins Glück leans on a strong ensemble — Mariele Millowitsch, Miroslav Nemec, Max Herbrechter — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 2003.
