The story

Richie Maxwell is down to his last quarter at a slot machine in Atlantic City, so he asks his cousin Evan for two more coins for one more spin – a spin that wins a $436,000 jackpot. The joy of victory is quickly replaced by a fierce disagreement over who deserves what. Richie begins by offering Evan a very small percentage of his winnings.
