Gig then proposes Russ rig the Pennsylvania Lottery with the help of his amoral girlfriend Crystal Latroy Lisa Kudrow, a ditzy model who pulls and announces the winning numbers on television, and her oddball cousin Walter Michael Moore, who will pose as the owner of the lucky ticket.Their plan works, but before the 6.4 million jackpot can be claimed, everything begins to unravel. Sleazy station manager Dick Simmons Ed ONeill, who also is sleeping with Crystal, tries to blackmail her and Russ when he discovers what they have done, and others who have uncovered what appears to be the worst kept secret in town demand their share as well. Mayhem and murder ensue, prompting lazy detectives Lakewood Bill Pullman and Chambers Daryl Mitchell to initiate an investigation they hope will not be too taxing. ........
