Welcome to Lifetime's new series, The Lottery, from Timothy J. Sexton, who earned an Oscar nomination for the Children of Men screenplay.

[...] it's time for the women's network known for series that are fluffy (Drop Dead Diva), sassy (Devious Maids) or earnest (Army Wives) to work some black magic on longform series.
