Lottery Ticket is a very likeable movie starring rapper,singer and now actor Bow Wow. This could be the movie that transforms him intothe next teenage matinee idol.

People who play Powerball and Lotto should watch this moviefor tips on what NOT to do if they ever win the big prize!

Bow Wow plays Kevin Carson, a nice kid with a bigimagination who lives in the projects with his grandmother (played by LorettaDevine). When Kevin is not spending time hanging out with his best friendsBenny (played by Brandon T. Jackson) and Stacie (Naturi Naughton), he works atthe local Foot Locker. Kevin dreams of one day of running his own shoe designcompany, but is constantly derided by people who tell him he will never get outof the projects.

The Powerball lottery has just come to town, causing quite alot of excitement as people in the neighborhood spend their money trying to getrich. Kevin tells anyone who will listen that the lottery is just a racketdesigned to keep poor people poor. But soon he too gets caught up in the fever,and he eventually purchases a ticket using the numbers given to him in afortune cookie.

As luck would have it, Kevins ticket ends up being thewinner of the $370 million Powerball jackpot. But since its the beginning 4thof July weekend the lottery office is closed for 3 days. Now most people inthat situation might hold up in a motel or their own bedroom for 3 days untilthe lottery office reopens but after accidently letting it slip that he wonthe millions, Kevin folds the ticket into his wallet in his back pocket andspends 3 days walking around the projects.

The rest of the movie deals with Kevin trying to hold ontohis ticket as everyone comes out of the woodwork to get a piece of the prize.

Comedian Mike Epps has a short but memorable cameo as theBaptist minister who after learning of the winning ticket tries to get hishands on some of the money. He is faithful to his flock but cant help thinkingabout his possible future with that kind of cash. Epps is very funny and itmakes you wish he had a larger role.

Loretta Devine is perfect as Kevins grandmother who alwayshas a Praise-Jesus ready to recite. She is proud of how Kevin is growing upand is concerned about what all that money could do to him.

A couple of old-time gangsters (played by Keith David andTerry Crews) front Kevin a bridge-loan on his winnings and become a realproblem.

Teairra Mari plays a local gold-digging temptress who triesusing sex to latch onto Kevins millions. A real hottie, she tries to get Kevinto impregnate her, but hes smart enough to say no.

But Kevins most dangerous neighbor turns out to be hardcorecriminal Lorenzo (played by Gbenga Akinnagbe). Lorenzo already dislikes Kevinbecause Kevin refused to give him free shoes from Foot Locker. So when Lorenzolearns that Kevin is walking around with $370 million in his pocket he decidesthat he will stop at nothing including killing to get that money.

By far funniest character with the best lines has to beKevins best friend Benny. He is always trying to come up with the big ideas,and when he sees that Kevin is being harassed by everyone he passes on thestreet he comes up with an absurd but very funny plot to escape the town usingan old Underground Railroad map from his high school history book. Fantastic.

Lottery Ticket is a very cute movie with some amusing andthoughtful commentary about sexual responsibility and the need to be charitableto your community.
