Lucky Girl is the story of 17-year old Katlin Palmerston, an above average student who develops a dangerous addiction to gambling. It begins innocently – winning $50 at a poker game at a birthday party. When everyone makes a big fuss the next day at school, Katlin is thrilled. The guys at school allow Katlin into their sports pool and her beginner’s luck holds. But soon she’s playing roulette over the Internet with her credit card and gambling all night. From scratch cards and poker to sports pools, gambling has taken over Katlin’s life. As her debts mount, her addiction to winning drags her into a downward spiral. | ||
