(from ABC's press release, May 2013) In Astoria, Queens, a group of seven gas station employees have been chipping into a lottery pool for months, never thinking they'd actually win. Money could solve problems for each of them: Matt (Matt Long) could get his girlfriend and two kids out of his mother's house; Matt's brother, Nicky (Stephen Louis Grush), an ex-con, could pay off a dangerous debt; Samira (Summer Bishil), a second-generation Pakistani immigrant, could afford to go to Juilliard; Denise (Lorraine Bruce), a plucky cashier, could focus on rebuilding her crumbling marriage; Leanne (Anastasia Phillips), a young mother, could help her daughter realize her dreams; Bob (Isiah Whitlock, Jr.), the store's manager, could finally retire; and Antonio (Luis Antonio Ramos) could give his wife and kids a whole new life. "Lucky 7" stars Isiah Whitlock, Jr. ("The Wire") as Bob Harris, Matt Long ("Private Practice") as Matt Korzak, Stephen Louis Grush ("Detroit 1-8-7") as Nicky Korzak, Lorraine Bruce ("Eden Lake") as Denise, Anastasia Phillips ("Stoked") as Leanne, Summer Bishil ("Towelhead") as Samira Rajpur, Luis Antonio Ramos ("The Ruins") as Antonio Clemente and Christine Evangelista ("The Joneses") as Mary. Written by David Zabel ("ER") and Jason Richman ("Detroit 1-8-7"), "Lucky 7" is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, Darryl Frank, Justin Falvey, David Zabel and Jason Richman.
