This action comedy starring Awkwafina and John Cena, has a number of genre elements.
1. It's set in the near future (2030)
2. There is a lottery where, once you "win" people have 24 hours to kill you and take the lottery, which echos The Purge films as well as Death Race 2000.
3. Facial prosthetics machines for quick disguises.
It looks fun to me! In a fun bit of ballyhoo they are also doing an actual online prose award for 10 years worth of buffalo wings aka $5,000 if anybody is interested: https://thejackpotjackpot.com/

You can’t win if you don’t play. Starring Awkwafina, John Cena and directed by Paul Feig, Jackpot! arrives August 15.
In the near future, a ‘Grand Lottery’ has been newly established in California - the catch: kill the winner before sundown to legally claim their multi-billion dollar jackpot. When Katie Kim (Awkwafina) moves to Los Angeles, she mistakenly finds herself with the winning ticket. Desperate to survive the hordes of jackpot hunters, she reluctantly joins forces with amateur lottery protection agent Noel Cassidy (John Cena) who will do everything in his power to get her to sundown in exchange for a piece of her prize. However, Noel must face off with his slick rival Louis Lewis (Simu Liu), who also seeks to collect Katie’s commission at all costs. JACKPOT! is directed by Paul Feig and written by Rob Yescombe.
