Inspired by a true story, this hilarious new comedy is about everyone's dream - to win the lottery. Jackie O'Shea and Michael O'Sullivan are big believers in luck and dreams, who have long obsessed over the national lottery. It is with great excitement that they read in the local newspaper that someone in Tullymore possesses the winning ticket. After several false leads, they eventually discover the lucky soul: Ned Devine. Unfortunately for Ned he's dead from the shock - with the ticket in his hand and a winning smile on his face.
