This movie is so much better than I expected when initially seeing its IMDb score. I saw a clip of it in Instagram and thought it'd be an interesting story to watch, but when I saw the rating here I almost gave up on watching it. I'm glad I didn't. The movie was very interesting throughout. It has a great cast and the fact that the story is true makes it all the more engaging. I found myself looking up what the numbers were that Jerry and Marge had made in real life while I was watching it. It is a very compelling, feel good story that will lighten your mood for the day and keep you hooked from beginning to end. Definitely worth a watch in my opinion.

Don't trust the 6.9 rating, nice as it is
Tender and gentle - easy does it
A man who has been forced to retire spots a loophole in the lottery and exploits it to help his town (and himself)
There is not a lot to this movie story wise and I have some sympathy for the reviewers who said they found this boring.
The story is simple and the characters uncomplicated - the small amount of drama that arises is smoothed over to cause more of a hump than a peak.
But saying all that I really liked this.
It is heart warming and non-offensive without being too sickly.
The humour is understated and causes a few chuckles.
The acting and production are all pretty good - but no one is trying for an Oscar here.
In all this was a delightful and relaxing watch.
If you want high excitement or drama then keep jogging - because this is not for you.
But, if you want something that is going to lower your heart rate and make you smile for an hour and a half then don't think twice.
!Great Story!
This was a beautifully told story with so much heart. I could only WISH for ppl like Jerry & Marge in my life! For this story to be really close to the REAL life story, made it even better. I am sure this will not have the same effect on a younger group of watchers. But for me and my mom on a movie night it was perfect! I am sad for them that one bad Harvard egg spoiled the whole bunch! They could have kept living their dream for more years if their were not any spoilers! At least they got to do what they wanted and help the ppl that mattered to them the most. As always Cranston is an amazing actor in this and completely believable! I will definitely be watching this one again, great feel good movie, not many of those now a days.
