Lot$ of Luck
How lucky can you get? That's exactly what Frank and Julie Maris are asking when mother/housewife/hairdresser Julie brings home a winning, million dollar lottery ticket. And that's just the beginning of an incredible string of fortune! The family quickly discovers that their Midas touch has its price- annoying fortune seekers, distant relatives, and the tax man are all jockeying for a piece of the action.
The suburban, blue-collar couple is happily residing with their three kids, Cindy, David and Trish, and Julie’s mother, Lucille. Things could be better as money is tight: Julie works hard as a hairdresser and Frank, a mechanic, dreams of opening his own auto-repair shop with best buddy A.J.
Things soon change when Julie wins the state lottery and then they keep on winning other things, such as a new car and a vacation. The Marises spend, spend, spend and then the day of reckoning comes when they find that they have failed to pay their taxes on the winnings. They see a way of getting out of this new debt and, maybe, get enough to open the auto shop if Julie can win a special auto derby in her ancient VW Bug with modifications by Frank & A.J., and computer guidance from her young son David. Let’s just say that slow and steady just may win the race!
