Lucky Day 2002

     Struggling actress Nora Barkin fills in her time between auditions working at a courier office.  She has become like family to an elderly man she works with called old Bill by everyone.  It was Nora and her husband Jack that looked out for him after his of many years wife passed away.  When Bill goes missing after calling Nora about a lottery win Nora gets concerned.  Bill said it was his lucky day.  The police are unwilling to take her seriously so starts her own investigation.  The trouble is that what she discovers makes her start to question her husband Jack?  When Bill shows up dead the police finally take an interest and it is now a murder investigation.  3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

     Nora's husband Jack arrives home late, he is distracted and Bill is nowhere to be found?  She starts checking out who might have known about Bill's lottery win? Nora follows her sense of foreboding as she begins to trace a bizarre set of events. What she learns could lead her to a shocking and horrifying conclusion.  It is possible that Jack could be involved in the murder because he knew about the 13 million dollar lottery ticket?  This amount of money will bring out a lot of people who want a part of this money!!
