Hitting the Jackpot A Brilliantly Funny Comedy Perfect for Fans of Nick Hornby

His wife is leaving him. He's just won the lottery. Does she really need to know? A hilarious debut novel of love, luck, and hard-to-keep secrets . . .

Jack's problems deepen when his shiny new BMW is hit by another car--driven by the shaken and disheveled but gorgeous Milly . . .
