Srečne številke

Slovenski opis filma:

Russ Richards, ki na lokalni televizijski postaji v mestecu Harrisburg v Pennsylvaniji vodi vremensko napoved, je v finančnih škripcih. Skoraj ves denar je zapravil zaradi slabih naložb, banka pa mu namerava zapleniti še dom. Prijatelj Gig mu zato svetuje, naj razmisli o tem, kako bi do denarja prišel po nezakoniti poti, saj je to očitno edina rešitev. Russ ima pomisleke, potem pa Gig dobi odlično idejo, da bi denar lahko zadel na loteriji, seveda z goljufijo. Navsezadnje ima Russ dostop do žogic, ki prihajajo iz bobna, poleg tega ima razmerje s Crystal Latroy, ki vodi žrebanje. Zadeva naj torej ne bi bila preveč zapletena.

Originalni opis filma:

Winter, 1988: Harrisburg PA's celebrity weatherman, Russ Richards, is broke: he's borrowed heavily to open a snowmobile dealership, and it's still unseasonably warm. Gig, his seedy pal, advises him to run an insurance scam; when it goes awry, Russ is out another $10,000 and in trouble with Dale, a bat-wielding thug. Gig convinces Russ to rig the state lottery with the help of Crystal, a gold-digging ditz with a heart of tin. They have to find a beard to buy the ticket, and then they have to cash it. Soon, murder and various double-crosses add to Russ's nightmare. A lazy cop zeroes in. Jail is closer than riches. Will Russ have to choose between his money and his life?
