Charlie Lang (Nicolas Cage) is an honest but poor cop who becomes an instant celebrity when he wins the lottery, and gives half of it to Yvonne (Bridget Fonda), a waitress to whom he had promised a share of the fortune should his number come up that day. This beneficent act is not appreciated by Lang's avaricious wife, Muriel (Rosie Perez), who becomes increasingly estranged from her husband as her new-found riches lead her to ever dizzier social heights. Meanwhile, the more selfless Charlie and Yvonne find themselves being drawn closer and closer together.

Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.  Warm-hearted cop Charlie Lang (Nicholas Cage) lives in Queens with socially ambitious wife Muriel (Rosie Perez) faithfully completing his lottery ticket every week. Charlie's life changes forever when he walks into the café where bankrupt waitress Yvonne Biasi (Bridget Fonda) brings him a cup of coffee. Realising he has no money for a tip, Charlie promises Yvonne that if he wins the lottery, he'll give her half the prize. Amazingly, they win - to the tune of $4 million! Muriel is furious when Charlie insists on keeping his promise, but when she reluctantly agrees, the whole of New York celebrates. But they soon find that money brings out both the best and worse in people, and that instant fortune and fame has changes their lives forever...
