Book Overview
Luck of the Draw profiles past winners of big lotteries, and how their windfalls impacted their lives, mostly for the better, but sometimes for the worse, such as the Florida widow who won $5 million in 1984: three years later, she lost her mansion and fancy cars, and owed the IRS $500,000 in back taxes, and was eventually arrested for trying to hire a contract killer for her daughter-in-law, whom she blamed for her lottery misfortune.

Lottery Book Delivers the Goods
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
A fast, funny read that told me everything I wanted to know about lotteries, their winners and losers - and then some. Part history, part comedy, this book was always entertaining and engaging. A great gift for anyone who plays the lottery or who just enjoys a good, easy read.
Winners can be losers too.

I've always been interested in what it would be like to be a millionaire. Well now I know. Lottery winners aren't always REAL winners, some are wieners. But it is the writing of Gudgeon and Stewart that really made this book an enjoyable read for anyone. Few writers (think Dave Barry) possess the combination of razor wit and warm humour like Gudgeon and Stewart. This book is like a lottery ticket - you can't win if you don't have it.
