Summary: The brutal murder of a lottery winner has Castle and Beckett up to their eyeballs in suspects, envious and angered by the victim's sudden move from the poorhouse to the penthouse. As the precinct buzzes with fantasies of what our cops would do if they won the lottery, Martha struggles with the reality of such a decision when she suddenly inherits money she feels she doesn't deserve.

Episode Quotes

Richard Castle: Looks like you made a serious dent into your surprise inheritance? Is it safe to say there is not an animal print left in any store in New York City?
Martha Rodgers: Very funny... [looks down herself, nods] Probably true.

Javier Esposito: [the victim won the Florida lottery] It's a winning ticket. Hard to believe a little slip of paper is worth over a hundred mil.
Richard Castle: [more to Beckett] What would you do if you won that kind of money?
Javier Esposito: Easy. Buy a Ferrari.
Richard Castle: I have one. Not as great as you would think.
Javier Esposito: Yeah, but they're hella fast.
Richard Castle: Well, as fast as every other car in rush hour traffic.

Richard Castle: [their murder suspect is covered in blue dye] Either that guy really likes "Avatar"...
Kate Beckett: Or he's our killer.

Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Beckett is investigating the crime scene, she claims that the gun (.357 Magnum) found next to the victim would create a larger entry wound than that on the victim. However the bullet diameter of a .357 Magnum is almost identical to that of the 9mm which is claimed to be the actual murder weapon. These weapons would leave entry wounds of comparable size and could not be distinguished with the naked eye.
