"Five years ago, six employees of a tech startup in Sarasota, FL formed a lottery pool and hit the jackpot—$300 million. It wasn’t long before each discovered that having $50 million is not all it’s cracked up to be. Now, on the eve of the fifth anniversary of that momentous day, they are reuniting in Sarasota under a slew of accusations from state and federal agencies that certain improprieties have taken place and the winners could be facing restitution, fines, and even jail time. They are forced to examine the roads they’ve traveled and who they’ve become after seemingly been given it all."
