Hmm...I've not seen that movie...

It's a quaint, odd movie (1998).

It's about an old guy called Ned Devine that wins the lottery and passes away in his chair when he sees his number come up on the toob.

The whole town conspires to substitute a winner and divide the winnings.

Full of great Irish characters, scenery, and music. Like a trip back to the old sod.

Trust me, I don't go for nekid guys riding motorbikes, but it is a funny scene.

This poor Irish guy is so emaciated, passing himself off as the real Ned Devine, and looks so diriculous, you can't help but belly laugh. Without the Irish humor in me, I'd have been dead decades ago.

There's actually a bar up here in Boston that has the same name. I'm not sure if it's a chain or just a solo operation.
