13 TV Characters Who Could Use a Jackpot

1. Michael Scott (The Office)

Played by Steve Carell, Michael Scott is the incompetent but nicest regional manager at the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin. Michael’s impracticality frequently renders him and his employees financially destitute. A windfall from a lottery win might let Michael pursue that ambition he has carried since the eighth grade of opening some sort of business, like a restaurant or an international speaking juggernaut. It would also give him the financial freedom he wanted to be able to follow his photography and writing without always worrying about going back into corporate life.

2. Jess Day (New Girl)

Jess (Zooey Deschanel) is an energetic and quirky schoolteacher who seems constantly on the verge of economic vulnerability. Jess’s fantastic ideals often push her into making terrible financial choices. Should she win the lottery, it would ensure a stable home life, help her grow as a teacher, and, who knows, provide free rein to whatever ideas spring out of that wondrous brain.

3. Homer Simpson (The Simpsons)

Homer Simpson is the loveable but bumbling patriarch of the Simpson family. He is employed at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Homer has no future at his dead-end job and needs the money to support his family. He could buy a new car or even start a business, and see that Marge and the kids are taken care of.

4. Walter White (Breaking Bad)

Walter White, played by Bryan Cranston, was once a high school chemistry teacher turned methamphetamine manufacturer after learning he had cancer. After venturing into the world of crime for financial reasons, winning the lottery would have allowed Walter to pay his medical bills (and then some) and potentially leave money behind to provide security for those he loves as well. This money could have altered the course of direction in his life.

5. Tina Belcher (Bob’s Burgers)

Tina is a bumbling, lovable teenager who dreams of being a writer and falling in love. A lottery win would allow Tina to pursue her creative passions, unbound by her family’s humble income. With it she might also find love — and even launch a writers group or magazine herself.

6. George Costanza (Seinfeld)

George Costanza is typically unemployed or in a dead-end job. He’s constantly struggling with finances, and he gets in his own way. George’s identity as a loser is rife with financial trouble and self-sabotage. A lottery win could just be the nudge George needs to pursue his dreams, whether that means opening a business or simply living free of fear bankruptcy.

7. Abbi Jacobson (Broad City)

Best friends Ilana and Abbi struggle to make it in New York City on Broad City. Abbi frequently has problems finding work that pays the bills in New York City. If she won the lottery, she could solve her money problems and devote herself entirely to her art — possibly opening a studio or launching a different creative project.

8. Jimmy McGill (Better Call Saul)

A small-time lawyer hustling to make a name for himself in Albuquerque, Jimmy McGill is on the path to becoming Saul Goodman. As great as he is at skating around the rules, Jimmy could use lottery money for actual capital in opening his law practice without having to rely on less-than-scrupulous activities. This new financial windfall may even help him right his path instead of going deeper in.

9. Liz Lemon (30 Rock)

Liz Lemon (Tina Fey) is the harassed but well-intentioned head writer of a comedy. She does her best to juggle work with everything else she’d like in life. Her life is stressful with all the pressure from corporate and personal life. A lottery win would allow her to make content that more truly reflects who she is as a comedian and free up time for self-care and other relationships without the financial pressure.

10. Darlene Conner (Roseanne)

Darlene Conner is depicted as an artist who can’t pay the bills. She has always struggled as an artist, striving for her dreams while single mothering and simply trying to keep food on the table. Winning the lottery jackpot would provide great stability for her family, and allow her to fully devote herself to doing artwork without bills hanging over her head.

11. Peter Griffin (Family Guy)

Peter’s ideas and unplanned decisions are frequently incorrect. In a ludicrously high-profile episode, he won the lottery only to piss his windfall down the drain with frivolous purchasing. Winning the lottery again could serve as important life lessons for him on responsibilities and money management, plus some stability for his family.

12. Al Bundy (Married… with Children)

Al Bundy is the quintessential everyman underdog, trapped in a soul-crushing career with few prospects for advancement. If only he would win the lottery, then he’d be able to give up selling shoes and buy that car or take that vacation he’s dreamed of since never without worrying about the price tag.

13. Sam Malone (Cheers)

Sam Malone is a former baseball player who runs the favorite local bar, Cheers. If he wins the lottery, he could use that money to make Cheers even more prominent or provide opportunities for him outside of bartending while still keeping close to his friends.
