* ''[[JoJo's Bizarre Adventure]]'', part four. Josuke, Okuyasu, and Fatty come up with a way to use Fatty's Stand to get rich in a hurry (have Harvest seek out discarded lottery tickets).

* Sets the plot in motion in ''[[Layer Cake]]''. The protagonists' boss, Jimmy Price, has lost a bundle on stupid investments and fires off a bunch of these, chiefly by stealing a bunch of ecstasy from some other gangsters, embezzling the savings of his underling and shopping his villainous colleagues to the police.
* The plot of ''[[The Producers]]'' is a once successful producer and his accountant try to sell 25,000% worth of shares of the play ''Springtime for Hitler'' to investors, pocket most the money, have the play be a flop that won't be investigated.
