This collection contains eight episodes from the hour-long drama series Lottery!, which aired on ABC from 1983 to 1984. The show told the story of Patrick Sean Flaherty (Ben Murphy)—a representative of the European Intersweep Bank—and Eric Rush (Marshall Colt)—an IRS agent. Together they locate winners of the Intersweep Lottery, verify their tickets, and award their winnings. Each episode deals with two or three lottery winners and the difficulties of proving ticket ownership, inheritance, or personal struggles the winners must overcome. While a total of seventeen episodes of Lottery! aired over its season run, this collection contains only eight of the original episodes. All reels are color, 16 mm prints with sound. Each reel runs approximately 60 minutes. The visual quality of the color prints is very good overall, with some minor scratches throughout.

The episodes in this collection are arranged chronologically by the date each episode originally aired on television.
