Two lonely strangers. One chance encounter. Six winning numbers.
<p>Dot is a lonely pensioner. Max is a young offender. But a chance meeting in their local park changes everything for this unlikely duo. They soon find they share a wicked sense of humour and a penchant for petty crime.</p>
<p>When Dot wins the lottery, Max helps her make a bucket list of all the things she's always wanted to do but never had the chance.</p>
<p>The pair gradually realise that it's not just expensive gadgets, fast cars and fun fairs that make them happy. And that the secret to living a rich life isn't money . . .</p>
