Osman, who lives a poor life with his wife, children, and mother-in-law, earns his living as a porter. His debts to the local shopkeepers and his landlord have piled up like a mountain. To make matters worse, he is constantly belittled by his wife Leman and mother-in-law! One day, the neighborhood ticket seller Şakir forces him to buy a lottery ticket. Osman hides the ticket somewhere but forgets where he put it. When Osman learns that the jackpot has been won by one of the tickets sold by Şakir, he mistakenly believes it is his and is overcome with joy.
