Book Description

It was supposed to be the lottery win they’d always dreamed of...

For fifteen years, Lexi and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends. Over drinks, dinner parties and summer barbecues, the three couples have discussed the important stuff--kids, marriages, careers--and they’ve laughed off their disappointment when they failed to win anything.

But then the unthinkable happens. There’s a rift in the group. Someone is caught in a lie. And soon after, six numbers come up that change everything forever.

Lexi and Jake have a ticket worth millions. And their friends are determined to claim a share.

My Thoughts

This is a book was an interesting insight as to what would happen if you truly won the lottery.

3 couples who seem ordinary and come from different backgrounds have become friends over their weekly ritual of buying a lottery ticket. But soon lies, secrets, and yes even money start to split them. The author created this wonderful story where you in a constant state of trying to determine truth from lies. 

If power can corrupt then what of money? we see how money can not only influence but change people in this captivating story I was exhausted by the end after the emotional rollercoaster of a ride. 

By the end of the novel, nothing is as you thought and the author leaving you thinking if the next time a friend or colleague asks you to go in on a group raffle ot lottery ticket will you?
