Lizzy's preparing to graduate from St. Andrews University (the domain of royalty and rich kids), and on the surface, she has everything: a stellar academic record, and a rich, connected boyfriend destined for a high-flying career in accounting ... but she's always felt like a fish out of water, and she can't shake the feeling something's off. So when handsome, flirtatious Will comes back into her life, she knows she's in trouble.
Will left university three years ago, and he's already heading for the stratosphere, his latest achievements a massive promotion at work and a new flat in London. It seems to Lizzy he has everything figured out, but as they grow closer, she realizes they're more similar than they seem, and just like her, Will's had to fight for everything he has to his name.
As Lizzy tries to choose her next steps in life, she buys a lottery ticket on a whim. She wins more money than she could ever dream of - seemingly the answer to all her woes - but she hides it, because deep down, she knows it's going to ruin her life. And of course, that can't last forever ...
Love and the Lottery is a fun, tension-filled romp through the lives of the privileged. Lizzy assumes she's the only one clawing her way up in the world, but discovers maybe she's not so alone after all ...
