Money changes everything. Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to become a millionaire overnight? A group of 20 friends and acquaintances is about to find that out as they win $386 million in lottery on NBC's hot summer drama, Windfall. At the heart of the events is a close-knit group of four friends. Peter (Luke Perry) and Nina Schaefer (Lana Parrilla) and their two kids are a seemingly happy family. Underneath, Nina still harbors feelings for her ex-boyfriend from college, Cameron Walsh (Jason Gedrick), rousing the suspicions of his wife Beth (Sarah Wynter, 24). Sean Mathers (D.J. Cotrona) is an ex-con with dark secrets that are in danger of being revealed when he wins the jackpot. Damien Cutler (Jon Foster) is a rebellious teenager who seeks independence of his parents. Frankie Townsend (Alice Greczyn), a 16-year-old girl, finds herself in the middle of a family feud when her separated parents fight over the money. (National Broadcasting Company (NBC))

English Windfall has a good premise, but it would need more humor and chill rather than depression and dealing with issues. People (audiences) expect positive things from winning the lottery and this series tramples on their dreams and illusions. That’s why it flopped and ended with the 13th episode of the first season. ()
