So, 'Big Ticket' is this quirky little gem that caught my eye. It's one of those films that seems to play with the absurdity of luck and fate, and it does it with this off-kilter charm. Herb Moore’s journey with the lottery ticket is laugh-out-loud funny at times, but there's a darker undertow, almost a moral quandary about the price of wealth. The ticket itself, adorned with that devil logo, really sets the tone—like it's taunting him. The pacing has this nice rhythm, keeping you engaged without dragging, and the practical effects, though minimal, add to its raw allure. It's definitely not your standard lottery story, which makes it stand out more in the collection.
Big Ticket is somewhat of a rarity, not widely circulated, and often overlooked in discussions about lottery-themed films. While it lacks widespread acclaim, there's a niche collector interest due to its unique premise and oddball execution. Various home media formats exist, but finding a decent copy can be a challenge, making it one to keep an eye out for in collector circles.
