This is a simple comedy like many others, however, it is a little more 'real' and is set in a winter of Harrisburg in PA [ where I had spent couple of years 'way back when....'!!]. The popular weatherman and the lady host of the live Weekly Lottery drawing conspire to 'rig' one such drawing so they can win the 6.4 million dollar jackpot. The honest weatherman is forced to compromise because his house goes in foreclosure!! The lady host has no guilt in pulling the stunt !!

They put glue in all the balls, except in those that correspond to the numbers on their ticket, I believe,.The lottery machine therefore ejects only the numbers the weatherman's team has on their ticket.
What follows is the usual mayhem associated with comedy movies including the overturning of a moving truck on a frozen street in Harrisburg and the high pitch screaming of the angry heroine!!
It is nice to see John Travolta in a comedy. However, the movie version I watched on Amazon does not have all his funny scenes shown in the trailer above. Harrisburg and the Susquehanna bridge look bigger and cleaner than they are in real life, probably because of clean up work of the post production crew.
