    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      This film was based on a true-life scandal involving the Pennsylvania Lottery Commission in 1980. Employees of a local television station in Pittsburgh actually were convicted and served jail time in the "666" drawing. Some of the balls were weighted down by injecting them with paint, ensuring that only 4s and 6s would remain airborne and captured in the lottery machine.
    • Goofs
      When Det. Pat Lakewood arrives at the scene of the jackknifed trailer, Russ throws a crow bar at the Detective's windshield and it breaks. In the next shot as Detective Lakewood pulls away, the windshield is no longer broken.
    • Quotes
      • Dale: [Dale's first line, right before breaking into Russ's store] Alright, let's do this cocksucker!
      • Dale: [later, after being caught by the police, to policeman] Let me just ask you one question Your Honor, where's my bat?
