Hi, I'm trying to remember the name of a documentary I watched on TV a few weeks ago and I was wondering if anyone here could tell me the name of it.

It's about (from what I remember) how people are handling their money. They buy lottery tickets because they think it's a good investment. It talks about how the government regulates online poker and how no one can invest in a hedge fund unless they have a million dollars or something like that. At the end it mentions that one of the interviewees is living in China so his daughter can learn Mandarin Chinese.

That's all I really remember from it. Does anyone know the name of the documentary I'm talking about?

Thanks.

Lol. I don't even remember that. It wasn't a usual channel I watch. I just happened to be channel surfing when I came upon it.
