I'm less than halfway through, but does the lottery not exist in this...

Couldn't they have just put up the Powerball numbers one time and then moved away forever? When they first found the machine and they talked about the track winners I was like what? Of course a bookie is going to get suspicious if you win every bet.

It's an interesting premise and I'll finish watching it because I have nothing better to do, but that's a huge plot hole. They were worried about the space time continuum, but could have avoided it by just putting up Powerball numbers one time. Nobody thought, "Hey the lottery exists."

I just finished it. It was even more terrible than I originally thought it would be.

No, because they needed a shady bookmaker and his goon to propel this joke of a story forward.

I only watched 1/3 of it so far. Also, why not go to Las Vegas to place your bets? If you win consistently they won't break your head with a baseball bat????

I stopped watching right when that roommate chick burst into the room because I guess she was pissed because the next picture showed her half nekkid on the couch?? So she burst into the room right when a bookie thug was swinging around a baseball bat beating up the "hey, bro" guy?? Would she not be beat up, too? But her honor was breached??

They dont "choose" what to see in the photo. They can't choose to see winning lottery numbers. Remember they see the photo from the next night. They just "recreate" it to keep in accordance with the future.
