The Lottery ticket Plot Summary?
The film follows Kevin Carson (Bow Wow), a young man living in
the projects with his grandmother (Loretta Devine). Kevin dreams of
one day designing his own sneaker line, but currently works at Foot
Locker. His dreams are supported by two of his best friends: Benny
(Brandon T. Jackson) and Stacy (Naturi Naughton). He comes across
Lorenzo (Gbenga Akinnagbe), the neighborhood bully. Meanwhile,
everyone in his neighborhood is trying to win the Mondo Million
Dollar Lottery of $370 million. Lorenzo demands that Kevin gives
him and his 3 friends three sets of sneakers each. When Lorenzo
shows up to Kevin's job, and grabs the shoes, the alarms go off and
the cops come. Kevin tells the cops that he didn't intend to give
the shoes to Lorenzo, so he is arrested. Kevin then loses his job,
and on his way home, takes his, and his grandmother's lucky numbers
to the gas station and buys the Mondo Millionaire Lottery
ticket.
On his way home he meets up with Benny, who tells him that the
whole neighborhood heard that Kevin "snitched" on Lorenzo, and is
even called one by their friends. Defeated, Kevin goes home and
quickly falls asleep. Later, the numbers of the lottery are
announced. Grandma's ticket doesn't win, but Kevin finds out that
his ticket has won him $370 million. However, and he and Benny head
to the claims office, they are told that they must wait three days
for the office to reopen, due to the Fourth of July weekend. News
of Kevin's ticket is leaked, and the entire neighborhood swarms him
and his home, begging for a cut of the money. Nikki Swayze (Teairra
Marí) who previously rejected Kevin, suddenly develops an
"interest" in him. This angers Stacy, who tells Kevin that Nikki is
only after his money, but Kevin doesn't believe her. Later on Kevin
and Benny meet up with a loan shark named Sweet T, who gives Kevin
$100,000 to go out and have fun. After her date with Kevin, Nikki
tries to make Kevin get her pregnant. She tells him the only reason
she went out with him was for his money.
Kevin and Benny have an argument about the ticket which leads to
them not speaking to each other. He goes to Stacey's house and she
tells Kevin that she thinks he was wrong about the entire
situation. He also tells her that she is the girl for him, this
leads to her getting mad and telling him to get out. He kisses her
and they start to make love and almost begin to have sex, but it's
interrupted when her mom arrives. As he leaves her house, Lorenzo
knocks him out and takes his $5,000 sneakers and his ticket. He
wakes up in Mr. Washington's (Ice Cube) apartment and talks with
him. Kevin reconciles with Benny also. In the end, the neighborhood
has a block party and Kevin faces off against Lorenzo. On the verge
of defeat, Kevin is saved by Mr. Washington, who comes and knocks
him out. Months later, Kevin, Benny and Stacey board Kevin's new
helicopter and fly off to work....at Kevin's sneaker company.
