John Travolta and Lisa Kudrow star in this side-splittingly funny comedy inspired by a real-life scam to win the Pennsylvania lottery. Travolta is Russ Richards, a weatherman in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Russ is a local celebrity, but when an unusually mild winter causes his snowmobile dealership to take a plunge, Russ needs a get-rich scheme – and fast. With his greedy girlfriend – the TV station’s lotto-ball girl – and a criminally minded buddy, Russ hatches a plan to fix the lottery. Russ’s numbers come up right, but then everything goes completely wrong, throwing Russ and his co-conspirators into comic chaos.
