Description

Perry L. 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 importantly, 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 L. Crandall.

About The Author

Patricia Wood is a PhD student at the University of Hawaii, focusing on education, disability and diversity. Lottery is inspired by her work, as well as by a number of events in her life, including her father winning the Washington State Lottery. She lives with her husband aboard a sailboat moored in Ko' Olina, Hawaii. Lottery is her first novel and was shortlisted for the Orange Broadband Prize for Fiction 2008. Patricia has one son, Andrew, who lives in Everett, where Lottery takes place.

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.
Other text

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.
