The name of the film is based on Ion Luca Caragiale's short story Două loturi.

They win the lottery, but Dinel, who kept the ticket, realizes he lost it when he was robbed by two thugs in front of his apartment.

Pompiliu claims this is the Secret Service's doing, saying they give high price tickets to people as a retirement option that is without taxes.

The 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.
