Kam Muiday (Elaine JIN) has long been asking her granddaughter Sunnie Lam (CHUNG Suet Ying) to buy the same set of lucky numbers in each Mark Six lottery ticket for years. However, fate played a cruel trick. During the Lunar New Year’s "Snowball Draws", Sunnie was unable to place the bet, and that set of lucky numbers won a jackpot of HK$ 88.88 million. Not wanting to shatter grandmother's dream, Sunnie borrowed a villa from her filming colleague Jay Lai (Edan LUI), claiming that it was purchased with the winnings. Sunnie's father, Ken Lam (Jiro LEE), mother Charlotte Tong (Harriet YEUNG), and younger brother Harry Lam (LI Hoi Lam Marek), moved into the villa with her grandmother. Living together under one roof gradually healed their once-distant relationships and brought them closer. However, an unexpected incident ultimately revealed this well-intentioned "villa lie"...
