I know it means "to have the chance (to win)".
As far as where it comes from, the only guess I can make is that it's British (I've not heard it outside Britain) and that 'shout' has an alternative meaning as in, "your shout" (your round of drinks).
Perhaps if you are 'in with a shout' you have the chance to win and have to buy everyone a round of drinks with your winnings!

I never heard of that expression but I would think that its like "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb"
