Based on truths.
The story: Jerry Selbee is a married man with grown children, that has been working at the Kellogg factory all his adult life.
He and his wife Marge are happy with their lives and do not want for anything.
One day, when Jerry arrives at work, he is advised that the company is retiring him.
This is a surprise and not a welcomed one because Jerry really has no idea what he will do with himself now.
After some time with family and trying to think about his future, Jerry gets an idea.
He has begun thinking about the local lottery and how it works.
Jerry, being a great math guy, believes he has found an error in a particular lottery.
He believes if he is correct with his calculations, that if he plays the numbers correctly, he will win a grand payout.
Jerry withdraws cash from his retirement fund, plays his hand at the game, and ends up winning big.
Unsure of himself, he hides his winnings from his wife until he tries again and wins once more.
After finally explaining to his wife what he has been doing, Jerry learns that she thinks his idea is a brilliant, surefire way to make money and have a lot of fun while doing it.
When they get to the store, they learn that the game Jerry was playing is no longer available to play.
It is now based in Massachusetts.
After talking to their accountant/travel agent and everything seems workable, Jerry and Marge decide to travel to Massachusetts to try their luck at the winning game.
