SEPTILLION TO ONE
Written by Graham Sack and Adam R. Perlman
The US Lottery is one of the biggest gambling operations on the globe – bigger than Vegas and Monaco combined. Each week, tens of millions of Americans buy a ticket. Few if any understand the odds they’re up against, let alone the esoteric algorithms and arcane politics at work behind the scenes. This is a mystery -- inspired by incredible, true events – about a woman who beats those odds to the tune of tens of millions of dollars and a lotto investigator who tries to uncover how she did it. But little does he know, she’s not finished yet. Sophisticated investigative content combines with elements of romantic comedy in an escalating cat-and-mouse game.
