When Will ‘Jackpot’ Be on Amazon Prime? How to Watch Awkwafina and John Cena’s New Movie on Streaming

In the new Amazon Prime movie Jackpot! —which is coming to the streaming service tomorrow—winning the California lottery in the year 2030 is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, you win a bunch of money. On the other, everyone with a losing ticket now has the right to legally murder you and claim your jackpot within the next 24 hours. You could call it a bittersweet victory.

Directed by Paul Feig, with a script by Rob Yescombe, Jackpot! stars Awkwafina as an aspiring actress named Katie, who accidentally enters, and wins, this deadly lottery in the year 2030. She reluctantly agrees to hire an amateur “lottery protection agent” named Noel (played by John Cena) to protect her from the bloodthirsty mob that’s after her and her money. Noel and Katie make an odd couple, but may have more in common than they think. Jackpot is a fast-paced, fun-filled romp that is full of Feig’s signature brand of absurd, silly humor.

It’s a guaranteed good time that you don’t want to miss, so read on for all the information about how to watch Jackpot online, including the Jackpot release date and the Jackpot release time on Amazon Prime.
