John Cena is tasked with protecting Awkwafina in the new Prime Video original movie Jackpot. The comedy premiered on Thursday (Aug. 15), which means you can finally watch Jackpot online.
Set in a not so distant future, the movie follows Katie Kim (Awkwafina) who wins the lottery shortly after moving to Los Angeles. The catch? The Grand Lottery comes with a price for the winner: they have until sundown to stay alive or anyone who kills them has a chance to legally claim the multi-billion dollar jackpot. Out of desperation, Katie teams up with an amateur lottery protection agent (Cena) who promises to protect her until sundown in exchange for part of the prize.
Jackpot also starts Simu Liu (who also starred in Barbie) as one of the main antagonists vying for Katie’s cash prize. Keep reading to learn the streaming options available.
