About this listen

Accused of murder. On the run. Who can you trust? Brimming with suspense, The Winner is a rollercoaster thriller from the bestselling author of The 6:20 Man, David Baldacci.

LuAnn Tyler is a single parent striving to escape a life of endless poverty. Then a mysterious Mr Jackson makes her an offer he thinks no one can refuse: a guarantee to be the winner of the $100 million lottery. But LuAnn won't do it.

Less than twenty-four hours later, she is fighting for her life and running from a false murder charge. Jackson's offer – and its condition that she leave the country forever – seems her only hope.

Ten years later, LuAnn secretly returns to the United States to begin a new life with Matthew Riggs, a man whose origins are as murky as her own. But a canny reporter has picked up her trail, as have the FBI – and Jackson. Matt Riggs is the only person who can help her. But is help what Matt intends? Or is he too closing in for the kill?

I wish I could rig the lottery and get away with it. Becoming rich isn’t a unique dream but I’d still like to be rich anyway.
As for the book, it’s worth a read.

This 1997 book is a good listen but does get a bit predictable and unbearable towards the conclusion.

Pretty good
