You from around here?
Uh, I just moved.
Oh, yeah? Just moved?
For school.
Been here long?
I just asked that.
Heh heh.
I used to live here.
I knew all the spots.
I mean,
you gotta know 'em.
There are
some great places.
And not just for
gambling. There's more.
I mean, gambling, sure.
Do you gamble?
Sometimes.
Sometimes?
That means a lot.
Yeah.
How much is the Instant
Jackpot Madness?
30 million.
Jeez Louise! Why hasn't
somebody popped that bubble?!
I mean, like...
'Give me 1,000 tickets.'
Anyone ever done that?
Why not?
Let's do it.
1,000 tickets.
Give me 1,000.
Uh, I don't think
I can do that.
Sure you can.
Yeah, count it.
I'll have to get
the manager.
Get him.
CASHIER:
Hi. Yeah,
we have a customer
who wants 1,000
I.J.M. tickets.
Is that cash?
Yeah.
Okay.
He'll be right up.
I'm not authorized
for that much.
Okay.
So? Do you know
any good places?
Uh, a few.
I just got here.
Well, I could
show you Vegas. Yeah?
Sure.
Oh. Good times.

JOHN:
They say
you make your own luck.
I neverunderstood that.
You're either lucky,
or you're not.
When I lived in Las Vegas,
I had plenty of luck.
Problem was,
most of it was bad.
So... I drove until
I ran out of gas.
And... here I am.
For now,
I'm taking it slow
and steady.
My name is John,
and I used to be lucky.
I had a great run
for a while.
A smile from me,
or a nod,
and it was, 'John, how
are you? Right this way.'
I didn't have to order
the usual.
They brought it to me,
comped.

I tried my credit card on
your machine. It's broken.
The credit card

Grand Gimmes.
Three Grand Gimmes.

Mega Mega Megas.

JOHN:
Of course,
a little fun never hurts.
Just to test the waters.
Because if my luck
comes back,
it would be foolish
not to capitalize.

Who's Your Daddy.
Congratulations. $22.
22?
When the words 'Who's',
'Your', and 'Daddy appear,
one in each box,
that's 1,000.
Your ticket has all three in
one box... 22. You're up two.
Heard somebody won Instant
Jackpot Madness last night.
No.
I thought
somebody won.
It's up to 15 million.
15?
Just sayin'.
22, Instant
Jackpot Madness.
[Machine whirring]
Hey. You're not
allowed to look.
Do you have trash?
Don't forget your
five bucks on pump seven.
JOHN:
I guess
I am pretty lucky.
I have a nice house
in a gated community...
a great job...
sitting in a cubicle,
filing claims,
logging calls.
WOMAN:
Thank you for
calling Townsend Insurance.
May I have your claim number?
JOHN:
And...
I have the best seat
in the house.
Thank you for calling
Townsend Insurance.
Can I have your
claim number, please?
So, you know how you're always
playing thosescratch card games?
No, I'm not.
My girlfriends and I
all chipped in
and bought a few,
and we won. $100.
Technically, $1,000,
but there were ten of us.
You won?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, we each bought
our own card,
and mine was called
'Who's Your Daddy'.
Like,
who thinks of that?
Heh. I'll have to try that. Yeah.
I was using my nail
to scratch it off,
and, like,
nothing's coming off.
And the guy's, like, 'You
have to use a quarter.'
You should've played
Instant Jackpot Madness.

Plot: What's the story about?
After a run of bad luck, John, a compulsive gambler, runs away from Las Vegas and toward a normal job and life. Taking a nondescript position in an auto insurance company in Albuquerque, he tries to get ahead in the straight world, amid the ever-present temptations of scratch-off lotto tickets. When his boss, Mr. Townsend, asks John to accompany his top fraud debunker, Virgil on an investigation of a dubious car 'accident' near Vegas, John sees an opportunity to get a promotion, although he's concerned about returning to the gambling game. Before leaving he becomes involved with his eccentric co-worker Jill, a dalliance that has the potential to become a real relationship. Soon John is on the road with Virgil. While Virgil is the supposed leader of the investigation, it's John who begins to finally assert himself, pushing the case closer to a conclusion. Through the journey, John's confidence builds, and he realizes that he can't escape his gambling addiction by running away from it -- it will follow him wherever he goes. It's only when he returns to Vegas that his experiences there finally send him on the path to breaking free.
