Jackpot! is an action comedy film set in a near-future scenario where a 'Grand Lottery' rules that anyone who kills the winner before sundown can legally claim their prize. The plot centers on Katie Kim, portrayed by Awkwafina, who accidentally ends up with the winning lottery ticket. In a bid to survive until sundown, Katie teams up with an amateur lottery protection agent, Noel Cassidy, played by John Cena, who agrees to protect her in exchange for a share of her winnings.
