- TriviaWhile some see the Boston Globe article mentioned as a goof, it is not. Actually, there was an initial article written around 2011 by a female journalist for the Globe that exposed the betting groups and the flaw. The HuffPost article was written later and focused more on Jerry and Marge themselves.
- GoofsTyler has his classmates filling in lottery cards each Winfall week, although those cards are reusable and only need to filled in the first time. This is because they are increasing their stake every time - they will always need additional cards for the additional bets.
- Quotes
Tyler: At Harvard, we learn a little something called binomial distribution. Look it up. Then you'll see why your odds are better when you fill out your own slips. You're welcome.
Jerry: Binomial distribution only considers two factors, not a third which is human error or a fourth, which is the time it takes for you to fill in the tickets. You gain a whooping 32 bucks for every $100,000 you win. You're welcome.
- Crazy creditsAs the End Credits begin to roll, pictures of the real life Jerry and Marge and their family, upon whose lives the movie is based, are shown.
