Whoa. This was just like Breaking Bad minus the drugs, violence cursing and any kind of law breaking. Honestly, I’m a sucker for these kind if stories where people exploit mathematical loopholes in systems for their own gain. Stories where contestants have beaten The Price is Right, Press Your Luck and other game shows and lotteries I will always find fascinating. I usually prefer the documentary treatment over a dramatic retelling, but the incredible true story here is pretty cute and makes for breezy watch.
