Beat the Lotto at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, from 31 Aug-3 Sep. This documentary follows a scheme in the '80s by the Cork-based mathematician, Stefan Klincewicz, to fix the National Lottery to win millions and the efforts of the Lottery to thwart it.
When downtrodden 1980s Ireland inaugurated a National Lottery the people began to dream. For Cork-based mathematician Stefan Klincewicz, it was an obsession. Spotting a flaw in the system, he recruited a ragtag team of chancers, and masterminded an audacious plan to fix the draw to win the millions. The heist became public knowledge, and in a race against time, the lottery did everything they could to try and stop the steal, dividing the nation on a very public caper.
