Review on ๐Ÿ€ Lucky You - Enhancing your Chances by Megan Knoll

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Although this is a very funny story, it is also about greed and power.

Lucky You is a funny fairy tale by Carl Hiasen. What else is new? But it's also a story about greed and power. Jolaine Lacks wins half of the Florida lottery, a whopping $14 million. However, the second half is won by Bodean James Gezzer, a low IQ white supremacist. His sidekick Chubby is also low on the IQ scale. Together they hatch a plan to get Jolaine's ticket. They beat them, believing they have the means to raise a heavily armed militia. However, Jolaine will not go quietly. She teams up with reporter Tom Crome, who was sent by The Register to interview her to get her ticket back. Tom is having an affair with the judge's wife. Tom wants to divorce his wife, but she's away all the time and his lawyer can't give her the paperwork. The judge, who is having an affair with his two secretaries, sets in motion a plan to get rid of Tom Crome. Bodean and Waddles recruit Skinhead Shiner and kidnap a Hooters waitress. That's one of their mistakes. Not going straight to Tallahassee and cashing in is another. Jolayne and Tom chase dumb thugs. Their solution is only possible in the novel by Carl Hiasen.
