Crandall knows what it's like to be an outsider. With an IQ of 76, he's an easy mark. Before his grandmother died, she armed Perry well with what he'd need to know: the importance of words and writing things down, and how to play the lottery. Most important, she taught him whom to trust-a crucial lesson for Perry when he wins the multimillion-dollar jackpot. As his family descends, moving in on his fortune, his fate, and his few true friends, he has a lesson for them: never, ever underestimate Perry Crandall.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>?A wonderful first novel?profoundly lovable.?<BR> ?"Washington Post"<BR><BR> ?A memorable character whose voice and world linger in one's imagination.? <BR>?"Miami Herald"<BR><BR> ?"Lottery" is a winner.?<BR> ?Kate Jacobs<BR><BR> ?A winning narrator.?<BR>?"Seattle Times"<BR><BR> It's ?memorable.?<BR> ?"Miami Herald"<BR><BR> It's ?wonderful.? <BR>?"Washington Post"<BR><BR> It's ?irresistible.?<BR> ?"Good Housekeeping"<BR><BR> ?Uplifting.? <BR>?Kate Jacobs<BR><BR> ?Much more than a novel about a windfall affecting a simple soul?it's a book about a stupendous event affecting a great number of people, especially the reader.?<BR> ?Paul Theroux<BR><BR><br><br>A wonderful first novel profoundly lovable. <BR> "Washington Post" <BR> A memorable character whose voice and world linger in one s imagination. <BR> "Miami Herald" <BR> "Lottery" is a winner. <BR> Kate Jacobs <BR> A winning narrator. <BR> "Seattle Times" <BR> It s memorable. <BR> "Miami Herald" <BR> It s wonderful. <BR> "Washington Post" <BR> It s irresistible. <BR> "Good Housekeeping" <BR> Uplifting. <BR> Kate Jacobs <BR> Much more than a novel about a windfall affecting a simple soul it s a book about a stupendous event affecting a great number of people, especially the reader. <BR> Paul Theroux<br><br>aA wonderful first novela]profoundly lovable.a<BR> a"Washington Post" <BR> aA memorable character whose voice and world linger in oneas imagination.a <BR>a"Miami Herald" <BR> a"Lottery" is a winner.a<BR> aKate Jacobs <BR> aA winning narrator.a<BR>a"Seattle Times" <BR> Itas amemorable.a<BR> a"Miami Herald" <BR> Itas awonderful.a <BR>a"Washington Post" <BR> Itas airresistible.a<BR> a"Good Housekeeping" <BR> aUplifting.a <BR>aKate Jacobs <BR> aMuch more than a novel about a windfall affecting a simple soulaitas a book about a stupendous event affecting a great number of people, especially the reader.a<BR> aPaul Theroux<br><br>"Patricia Wood's debut novel tickles your funny bone, tugs your heartstrings, and redefines the word 'fortunate' all at once." -"Redbook" "[An] irresistible debut novel about what makes people good or bad, smart or stupid." -"Good Housekeeping"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Patricia Wood is a Ph.D. student at the University of Hawaii, focusing on education, disability, and diversity. <i>Lottery</i> is inspired by her work, as well as a number of events in her life, including her father's winning the Washington State Lottery.
