A recommendation of The Sort Of Thing Of Interest for you this afternoon, Beat the Lotto on Netflix, a documentary film released a few months ago about the compelling story of Stefan Klincewicz and a group of unlikely lads who tried to win the Irish lottery by covering all 1.9m combinations during a rollover week, whilst head of the lottery Ray Bates tries everything in his power to stop them once he realises what’s going on.
It’s Challenge Anneka by way of a legal heist, and features lots of sidebars with lottery history, social commentary and early 1990s Irish media and ends up being greatly entertaining – it’s an-hour-and-a-half and it absolutely flies by. Absolutely teriffic stuff.
