About

We are excited to add another must-see film screening to our autumn events programme: Beat The Lotto – a gripping true story of ambition, obsession and Ireland's most daring lottery heist in the 1980s.

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 and 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.

Don't miss your chance to experience this thrilling screening, presented in association with Film Hub NI.
