This was an absolutely refreshing book that I think just about anyone would enjoy. I loved the premise of the book. What would a pastor do if he won the lottery--even if it was by mistake? And from there, one thing led to another which led to another, which led to yet another thing. I think you would call it the snowball effect. This book is written with a fantastic sense of humor, and although it seemed like a thick book, I had no problem finishing it in just a few hours!

It’s bad enough that Matt McCallister was raised Methodist and became a Baptist minister. It’s bad enough that he is one of the main opponents of the Lottery system and had appeared on TV and In the papers speaking about its’ evils. It’s bad enough that Matt, in a hurry, accidently picks up a lottery ticket while getting gas, admits to his family he did it and pitches it in the trash.

Some people think that winning the lottery might just be the answer to all their problems. It might if all your problems had to do with simply having enough money.
