What happens

Lucky Numbers is a 2000 black comedy film directed by Nora Ephron. It stars John Travolta, Lisa Kudrow, Tim Roth, Ed O'Neill, Michael Rapaport, Richard Schiff, Daryl Mitchell, Bill Pullman, and Michael Moore in a rare acting role. The screenplay by Adam Resnick was inspired by the 1980 Pennsylvania Lottery scandal. It is the only film Ephron directed without also writing the screenplay. Lucky Numbers was released on October 27, 2000 by Paramount Pictures in international markets, BAC Films in France and StudioCanal in Europe and Africa. The film received negative reviews and was a box-office bomb, grossing $10.9 million against a $63 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
