Review:
"What I love about Lottery is that it is 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." (Paul Theroux)
"Wonderful...Perry L. Crandall, the underdog of Lottery, is profoundly lovable...so vivid and funny and poignant and joyful...the thinking man's guide to a happy life." (Washington Post)
"It has bags of charm" (Bookseller)
"A witty yet poignant social commentary where the empty value of money is set against the heart-warming traits of an unquestioningly loyal soul." (Easy Living)
"Superbly written, and moving in its simplicity." (Psychologies)
