Reception
Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama gave the film one star out of five, criticizing it for pretending to be a thriller, a love triangle next, a whodunit later, a musical in between and ending up as something else altogether.{{cite web|title=Lottery Review 1/5|website=Bollywood Hungama|date=20 March 2009 |accessdate=6 February 2015|url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/lottery/critic-review/lottery-movie-review/}}
