Sünopsis

Only two people of the 76 lottery winners in Estonia (who are afraid of publicity) agree talking about their life and lottery victory - Urve and Rudolf. Fortunately they have not had to experience envy; instead, they have been congratulated for their luck. Urve is a beginner in lottery playing - she bought her ticket because she trusted her strong gut feeling: as if something told her to buy it. The victory sum of 8,6 million Estonian kroons provided new life for Urve, a production line operator, and her family. Rudolf, however, had played lottery for years and finally the great victory came: the local jackpot of Viking Lotto - the sum of 727,000 Estonian kroons. This was a big money for the man living in a rural area who had always worked hard. Urve and Rudolf tell filmmakers how they have spent their money.
