Goodreads / Amazon / Barnes & Noble / iBooks / Kobo / Google Play -- EXCERPT: Doug moved so he was standing beside Cameron. The sunlight coming through the window highlighted the sweat on Andie’s forehead. “Are you feeling okay, Andie?” he asked. “Umm.” It wasn’t a yes, but it was an acknowledgement. “Jason, can you read those again, but slower this time?” she asked. “Andie, did you pick a ticket where we didn’t match one number? I hate those,” Tyler complained. Doug did too, but he had a feeling that wasn’t the source of Andie’s distress. She was still sweating. “Tyler, watch Andie,” Doug ordered. Tyler sat up straight and held out a hand, ready to grasp Andie’s biceps in case she toppled over. It looked like a real possibility. Jason rattled off a string of numbers again. Andie swayed on the sofa cushion. Tyler’s grip kept her upright. “Jason, move,” Doug ordered. He and Tyler tilted Andie until she lay across the sofa. “Andie, I need you to slow your breathing. You’re hyperventilating.” “We won,” she gasped. Her blonde bangs were plastered to her forehead. “How many numbers did we match?” Jason asked. “All of them,” she said breathlessly. Doug swiped the ticket out of her hand. “Breathe. Slowly. In, two, three, four. Out, two, three, four.” His eyes went to the ticket; a tiny, blue dot under each number. “One more time, Jason?” “Four. Eight. Twelve. Nineteen. Twenty-nine. Forty-seven. Forty-eight.” His voice cracked when he asked, “Did we really get them all?” Doug wanted to hyperventilate himself. He nodded. Seven out of seven. That was a jackpot win, if it were true. “I think so. Maybe somebody should look on another site. Or run out to the gas station and see what they have posted in case Jason’s app is wrong.” He expected yelling. Shouts. Happy, hysterical tears. Not dead silence. Scarlett hit the carpeted floor with a thump. Her legs had gone out from under her. “Do you know what the prize is this week? Fifty million dollars. That’s, what, five million dollars each?” “Four and change,” Freddy said. “There are twelve of us. Andie wrote all our names on the ticket when she bought it.” He’d forgotten. Doug flipped the narrow sheet and saw the names printed on the reverse. “Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Who’s going to double-check the winning numbers?” They checked the numbers again, this time on the lotto’s website using Evelyn’s laptop. Then Cameron and Freddy took a field trip to the gas station. Freddy live-streamed the drive, including a long, in-depth focus on the posted, winning numbers. Scarlett texted Noah, Kirby and Jonathan, ordering them to Evelyn’s immediately. She accepted no excuses. Fifty-million dollars’ worth of winning numbers. Fifty million. ![]()
