Synopsis
Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022) is a comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) brings to the screen the true account of Jerry Selbee, a retired Michigan engineer who found a flaw in a Massachusetts lottery game and used it to win millions.
The loophole was real: whenever the jackpot crossed a certain threshold, the expected return on a ticket flipped positive. Jerry ran the numbers, shared the plan with his wife Marge, and they quietly built a lottery buying club with their neighbors. Total winnings reached $27 million. They put much of it back into the small town of Evart. Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening play the couple, with Rainn Wilson, Michael McKean and Anna Camp rounding out the cast.
The scheme drew a Boston Globe investigation before authorities closed the window in 2012. Frankel plays it warm and funny rather than cautionary — a good-natured heist film where nobody gets hurt. Stream Jerry & Marge Go Large online on iFILM.
