Published in August 2007, Patricia Wood’s debut novel is the poignant, funny, suspenseful, inspiring, and ultimately hopeful tale of a mentally challenged young man who wins $12 million in the Washington State Lottery.

—Kirkus Reviews calls the book “a page-turner” and a “thought-provoking idea.”
—Publishers Weekly says it’s “a warm-fuzzy debut” and expects that “Wood’s light humor and likable narrator should have mass appeal.”
—Redbook magazine says LOTTERY “... tickles your funnybone, tugs your heartstrings, and redefines the word ‘fortunate’ all at once.”
—Good Housekeeping calls the book “... irresistible ...”
—The Washington Post says, “Perry L. Crandall is the thinking man's guide to a happy life...It's an underdog novel, and the underdog is a most satisfying hero, for more than any other protagonist, the underdog is the one we love to love.”
