This film was based on a true-life scandal involving the Pennsylvania Lottery Commission in 1980. Employees of a local television station in Pittsburgh actually were convicted and served jail time in the "666" drawing. Some of the balls were weighted down by injecting them with paint, ensuring that only 4s and 6s would remain airborne and captured in the lottery machine.
According to the commentary, Lisa Kudrow did her own stunt when her character's car goes through the glass at the station (although it didn't look that dangerous anyway).
One of the four films that received an "F" CinemaScore from audiences upon their release in 2000, along with Eye of the Beholder (1999), Dr. T & the Women (2000) and Lost Souls (2000).
Tim Roth and John Travolta's second film together, the first one was Pulp Fiction (1994).
The call letters for the station: WTPA were actual call letters for the actual ABC affiliate in Harrisburg WHTM TV from 1953-1980.
"Dale: [Dale's first line, right before breaking into Russ's store] Alright, let's do this cocksucker! Dale: [later, after being caught by the police, to policeman] Let me just ask you one question Your Honor, where's my bat?"
"Gig: It's merely the concept of gravity. Russ: No, no, the concept of gravity is when you fall down and break your head open. Gig: Well, obviously your glass is half empty. Russ: No, my glass is totally empty!"
