Jerry is a bored pensioner who is good with numbers but bad with people. When he discovers a loophole in the WinFall lottery, Jerry and his wife Marge hope to exploit it to revive their dying community. This is a funny, affable, and warmly acted comedy drama, but do not expect any surprising twists or high dramatic stakes in this feelgood affair. The fact-based script by Brad Copeland is based on a 2018 HuffPost article by Jason Fagone.
