The episode starts with a famous cold open. The staff sees a dog in a locked car on a warm day. They panic and try to "save" it. Oscar uses a tire iron to smash the car window. He even smashes a tail light just for fun. Meanwhile, Kevin tests the heat by sitting in his own car. He passes out before anyone can find him.
The main story begins when the warehouse crew wins the lottery. They win $950,000 and quit their jobs immediately. This leaves the office without anyone to ship paper. Andy struggles to manage the chaos. He asks the office staff to move boxes in the warehouse. Most of the workers are jealous and can no longer focus on their work.
Darryl feels the worst about the win. The crew used his birthday as the winning numbers. He was part of the pool for years but stopped when he moved to the office. Darryl falls into a dark mood. He tells Andy to fire him because he feels like a failure. Andy stands his ground and tells Darryl he simply stopped trying. This tough love helps Darryl realize he needs to work for his own success.
In the warehouse, Jim, Dwight, Erin, and Kevin try to move heavy boxes. They are very bad at it. Dwight accidentally crashes a forklift into a wall. To make the job easier, they grease the floor with cooking spray. They call their new system "Señor Loadenstein." They slide boxes and Erin across the floor, but they end up ruining the paper.
Jim and Pam also spend the day arguing about their dream life. Jim wants to live in Maine and work at a bike shop. Pam wants a fancy loft in New York City. They realize their fantasies do not match at all. By the end of the day, they agree on a fake home that combines both worlds.
Finally, Andy and Darryl start hiring new workers. They interview several strange people. One candidate is a PhD student who cannot hear well when there is noise. Darryl decides to stay and lead the new warehouse crew. He realizes his life is not about luck. He chooses to control his own destiny instead of waiting for a lottery win.
