In the near future, a ‘Grand Lottery’ has been newly established in California - the catch: kill the winner before
sundown to legally claim their multi-billion dollar jackpot.
When Katie Kim (Awkwafina) moves to Los Angeles, she mistakenly finds herself with the winning ticket.
Desperate to survive the hordes of jackpot hunters, she reluctantly joins forces with amateur lottery protection agent
Noel Cassidy (John Cena) who will do everything in his power to get her to sundown in exchange for a piece of her prize.
However, Noel must face off with his slick rival Louis Lewis (Simu Liu), who also seeks to collect Katie’s commission at
all costs. JACKPOT! is directed by Paul Feig and written by Rob Yescombe.
