Jackpot!

August 11, 2024

JACKPOT! is a 2024 action comedy directed by Paul Feig, from a screenplay by Rob Yescombe. The film was previously titled Grand Death Lotto.

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.

The cast includes Awkwafina, John Cena, Simu Liu, Ayden Mayeri, Seann William Scott, Dolly de Leon, and Donald Elise Watkins.

Jackpot! is set to debut August 15th on Prime Video. Watch the official trailer below.
