Pam and Roy play a line on Lotto and struggle with the prospect of change when they discover theyve won a million.
The film is focused around the time between them finding out theyve won and calling the claim line. They soon get into the swing of the new car, different holiday ideas but Pam is quite happy with her lot and sees no need to be extravagant for the sake of it. These small differences between them are soon eclipsed by worries over whether their relationships with family and friends will be overcast by such a win. Their dawn walk is a pivotal moment for them.
This is as good as it gets; they know their current financial worries are over but troubles of a different kind await them and even between themselves they wont always agree. Everything is about to change and it is an uncomfortable couple that picks up the phone to the claim line.
