Tositapahtumiin perustuva elokuva pohjautuu Jason Fagonen vuoden 2018 Huffington Postin samannimiseen artikkeliin. Vuonna 2003 Jerry huomasi esitteen uudesta Michiganin osavaltion lottopelistä nimeltä Winfall. Hän analysoi pelin matemaattista rakennetta ja löysi siitä porsaanreijän: kun jättipotti saavutti 5 miljoonaa dollaria ja yhtään täysosumaa ei löytynyt, palkintorahat siirtyivät alemman tason voittajille. Kun tämä tapahtui, sitä kutsuttiin "Rolldowniksi" ja lottokomissio ilmoitti tästä etukäteen.

Jerry ja Marge käyttivät seuraavan vuosikymmenen hyödyntäen pelin matemaattista puutetta. He perustivat rahaston, jonka kautta he auttoivat ystäviään ja tuttuja, sekä elvyttivät pienen kotikaupunkinsa taloutta. He pelasivat Winfallia 12 kertaa ja keräsivät voittoina yli 2,6 miljoonaa dollaria. Kun Michiganin lottopeli suljettiin keväällä 2005, he ryhtyivät pelaamaan samanlaista Massachusetts-lottoa. 43:n pelatun kierroksen jälkeen voittoja kertyi yli 24 miljoonaa dollaria.

"Jaan voitot kanssasi, jos voitan. Kunniasanalla." Nämä sanat lausuu poliisi Charlie Lang, kun häneltä loppuu tippi kahvikupin juomiseen. Hänellä on vain lottokuponki. Seuraavana päivänä Charlie palaa kahvilaan. Hän on voittanut rahaa. Paljon rahaa. Ja lupaus on lupaus. Hänen vaimonsa on innoissaan ja sanomalehdet hurraavat... NICHOLAS CAGE ("Manga", "The Rock") ja BRIDGET FONDA ("Sinkku nuori nainen etsii...", "Sinkut") ovat pääosissa tässä kriitikoiden ylistämässä kaksoiskomediassa. Elokuva perustuu tositarinaan poliisivirkailija Charliesta, joka voittaa 3 miljoonaa dollaria lotossa ja jakaa voitot täysin tuntemattoman tarjoilijan kanssa. Lämmin ja romanttinen komedia.
