Inspired by real events, “Corazonada” is the story of Marco, a low-ranking lottery worker who, in collusion with the production company that films the draws, plans the biggest fraud in Mexican history, using the magic of television.
The Lottery: The Mexican Dream
Is based on the true story of the theft of “Corazonada,” a multimillion-dollar lottery prize, which was committed in 2012 by a group of government workers whose ambition far exceeded their criminal intelligence. These seven workers were in charge of organizing the lottery and managed to steal 160 million pesos (worth $10 million at the time), but were caught a few weeks later. Starting with the interrogation of the culprits, the film moves back and forth in time to tell the story of how these low-ranking employees were able to carry out one of the biggest and most iconic heists in history.
