Beat the Lotto
Directed by Ross Whitaker
When downtrodden 1980s Ireland inaugurated a National Lottery, the people began to dream. For Stefan, it was an obsession. Seeing a flaw in the system, he attempted to fix the draw but the heist became public and the lottery tried to stop him, dividing the nation on a very public caper.
