It's raining men: Ashton Kutcher joins his new Two And A Half Men castmates Jon Cryer, left, and Angus T. Jones at a CBS event in New York today


It may have been raining as he arrived to the CBS party, but Ashton Kutcher certainly feels like the sun is shining on him.

The 33-year-old actor, who was recently announced as Charlie Sheen's replacement on Two And A Half Men, said getting the gig 'feels like winning the lottery'.

Ashton spoke about his delight today as he joined his fellow cast mates Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones at U.S. channel CBS's Upfront event in New York.

'I've never probably in my 13 years in show business received more phone calls and e-mails from people congratulating me on this job,' Kutcher told Us Magazine.
He continued: 'You'd almost think I won the lottery or something, which I kind of did.

'I've got the best job in showbusiness, and I am ecstatic about that.'
The No Strings Attached star will earn around $1m per episode for the top-rated comedy.

His co-star Cryer said he was looking forward to working with Kutcher, saying: 'I'm incredibly happy they're bringing Ashton to the show.
