Buy a lottery ticket✅
Win your wildest dreams✅
Lose everything…?
One lucky ticket is about to change everything
Edie and Ron have been together for nearly fifty years, keeping each other afloat by the skin of their teeth. They’ve always been ordinary – until something very extraordinary happens.
Winning the lottery is everything they’ve ever wanted – well, almost.
Because for the last twenty years, Edie and Ron have been running from a secret that tore their family apart. And when you can suddenly buy everything you’ve ever wanted, you realise that the only thing you really want is the one thing money can’t buy.
Join Edie as she finally takes control. She’s had enough of playing the hand she’s been dealt – it’s time to risk it all.
