ReceptionThe Hollywood Reporter said of the film, "Though Two Lottery Tickets’ budget must have been modest, there is no sense that compromises had to be made to tell the story currently onscreen. The standout technical credit, beyond the cinematography, is the guitar-driven score, which at times infuses the film with something of a country vibe."[2] References
