Sweepstakes Winner is a 1939 American comedy film directed by William C. McGann, written by John W. Krafft, and starring Marie Wilson, Johnnie Davis, Allen Jenkins, Charley Foy,[1] Jerry Colonna and Frankie Burke.

[4][5][6] A naive girl, Jennie, inherits $1,000 from her grandfather, who tells her to buy a particular racehorse with it.

That horse wins, but one of the bookies, Jinx Donovan, followed a bad tip and instead bet $500 on a loser.

Rather than admit he lost the money, he arranges to have her robbed just after he returned the remaining $500 to her in a wad to look like the $5,000.

Too broke to pay for it, they sell her an Irish Sweepstakes ticket for $10 and the meal.
