In Jamie Pactons hilarious and poignant sophomore novel, a teen wins the lotto jackpot and suspicion and jealousy spread through her small town before she can claim her prize. Perfect for fans of Rainbow Rowell and Becky Albertalli. 28,643,129. Thats how many dollars seventeen-year-old Fortuna Jane Belleweather just won in the lotto jackpot. Its also how many reasons she has for not coming forward to claim her prize. If she reveals her win before she turns eighteen, Janes hoarder mother will get the money. The last thing her mom needs is millions of dollars to buy more stuff. But Janes birthday is a month away, and its hard to keep $28 million secret for long in her tiny Wisconsin town. After Janes best friend Bran declares on the news that hell be the one to find the lucky winner, he drags Jane into his schemes. In the meantime, everyone in town has big ideas about what theyd do with the money and strong opinions on why no one has claimed the prize. Suspicion and jealousy turns neighbor against neighbor and a hunt commences to find the lucky winner. As things in town get ugly, Jane begins to wonder: Could this much money actually be a bad thing?

Seventeen-year-old Fortuna Jane Belleweather just won in the lotto jackpot - $58,643,129 !! But there are problems…she‘s a minor so she can‘t receive the $, she can‘t give it to her widowed mom, who would use it to ramp up her hoarding habit, and her 18 yo ex will blackmail her to get possession of the $$…how can she proceed when the money is worse than a curse??

@WanderingBookaneer posted about this a few months ago- and the premise sounded like a fun read - and my Pre Order arrived yesterday!!! I may use it for an #lmpbc book if others are interested.
