Klappentext

What would you do if you won the lottery?

In 1998, James Hayes won $19 million. Why did he end up in prison twenty years later? A winner in Massachusetts receives $1 million a year for life. Why does he still have a flip phone and live in the same small house? AR Platinum spends six figures every year on the lottery ... and constantly loses. How does his losing make him a comfortable income?

In this book you will meet the cast of characters from behind the scenes, in front of the cameras, some winners and losers, and the critics and proponents. You will also get advice from Kurt Panouses-the most well-known lottery lawyer in the United States-on what to do if you win, and learn way more than you ever wanted to about the numbers behind the games.

Get comfy, grab some popcorn, and be entertained while you delve into the world of winning and losing...but mostly losing.
