Lucky Numbers

A charismatic TV weatherman's life takes an unexpected turn when he orchestrates a massive lottery scam, setting off a chain of events that threatens to upend his entire world.

In winter 1988, Russ Richard, a popular weatherman for WTPA Channel 6 News, faces financial struggles due to an unusually warm and snowless winter. His snowmobile dealership is struggling, and his usual sources won't lend him money. He turns to illegal activities, initially failing and then opting for a lottery scam with his colleague Crystal, the Pennsylvania Lucky Six Lottery girl, and Gig, a shady acquaintance. The plan is to win the $6.4 million jackpot, but as it unfolds, it becomes increasingly risky and dangerous, leading to diverging views among the partners on how to get out of the mess.
