LUCKY WINNERS
France, subtitles, 2024 Comedy
103 mins, Rated M (strong language)

The chance of winning the lottery is around one in 19 million – you have a better chance of being struck by lightning. But for the characters of Lucky Winners, this dream turns into an explosive and hilarious nightmare.

Lucky Winners is a black comedy that makes use of four separate stories to explore the comic and unexpected consequences of sudden fortune. Marriages are tested, lifelong friendships turn sour, and tightly held secrets are revealed.

In each case, the “lucky winners” are forced to question whether life really is better after hitting the jackpot.

"Funny, inventive, brilliant and always surprising. A deliciously subversive comedy." - IMDB

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
