Description
Lucky Numbers is a dark comedy inspired by a real-life scam to fix the Pennsylvania lottery. John Travolta stars as Russ Richards, a local celebrity weatherman in Harrisburg whose failing snowmobile dealership drives him to hatch a get-rich-quick scheme. With help from the TV station's lotto-ball girl, played by Lisa Kudrow, and a criminally minded buddy played by Tim Roth, Russ sets out to rig the lottery only to watch his plan spiral into comic chaos. Directed by Nora Ephron, the film co-stars Ed O'Neill, Michael Rapaport and Bill Pullman. This is the Paramount Pictures / Studio Canal VHS release from 2000, presented in Hi-Fi Stereo and running approximately 105 minutes. Rated R and modified from its original version to fit standard TVs.
