LITTLE LOTTO

Description:

When a young boy finds a winning lottery ticket lost by a lively Catholic priest, he must decide on the right course of action - finding the rightful owner or helping his desperate family.

KIDS FIRST!® Adult Juror Comments:

A good holiday-themed story the family can enjoy together. Good moral about doing the right thing. When a family finds a winning lottery ticket, they make the decision to find the true owner rather than keep the $58.5 Million for themselves. The family, though apparently religious, is very realistic. Fighting parents are respectful but honest with their kids. The characters are not stereotyped and all have very distinct personalities. We see a family, which in spite of their difficulties, stick together and are honest and loving with each other. There is also a sub-message that money will not bring you happiness; it has to come from within. There is some slightly religious overtones, with this Catholic family. Also, some mild profanity and a priest drinking in one scene.
