In a near-future California, a new “Grand Lottery” has been established with a deadly twist.
The catch? One must kill the winner before sundown to claim the multi-billion dollar jackpot. Awkwafina stars as Katie Kim, who moves to Los Angeles and unexpectedly finds herself holding the winning ticket. Facing hordes of jackpot hunters eager for her fortune, Katie reluctantly teams up with Noel Cassidy, an amateur lottery protection agent portrayed by John Cena. Noel, who sees protecting Katie as his ticket to a share of the prize, must navigate a day filled with chaos and danger. The duo’s survival hinges on their ability to outwit and outfight numerous adversaries, including Noel’s slick rival, Louis Lewis, played by Simu Liu. Louis is equally determined to collect Katie’s commission at all costs, adding another layer of tension and excitement to the plot. Watch the trailer below!
