You can’t win if you don’t play. One lucky winner will receive a 10-ounce gold bar, cash, and enough Buffalo Wild Wings for a decade; valued at over $35,000 thanks to John Cena and Awkwafina and the upcoming release of Jackpot! The action comedy introduces audiences to their new favorite comedy duo: Awkwafina and John Cena. The movie has been called “outrageous” and centers on a ‘Grand Lottery’ with a catch: kill the winner before sundown to legally claim their multi-billion-dollar jackpot.
Awkwafina plays Katie, who mistakenly finds herself with the winning ticket and reluctantly joins forces with amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy, played by John Cena. Noel must protect Katie to sundown in exchange for a piece of her prize. Legendary director Paul Feig champions Awkwafina, another great comedienne in an action-packed starring role, following his other beloved action comedies THE HEAT and SPY, among others.
