In the near future, a new “Grand Lottery” is launched in California, but the multi-billion dollar jackpot prize can be claimed legally if the winner is killed before the sun sets. Katie Kim (Awkwafina) moves to Los Angeles and accidentally gets her hands on a winning ticket. Desperate to survive the hordes of jackpot hunters, she reluctantly teams up with amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy (John Cena), who will stop at nothing to take her off into the sunset in exchange for a share of the winnings. But Noel must face off against a scheming rival, Luis Luis (Simu Liu), who is intent on taking Katie’s commission at all costs. Jackpot!
