Jackpot

This is big ticket love. All bets are off.

Nic Stone, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin, creates two unforgettable characters in one hard-hitting story about class, money – both too little and too much – and how you make your own luck in the world. The perfect next read for fans of Adam Silvera, Becky Albertalli and John Green.

Seventeen-year-old Rico splits her time outside school between looking after her younger brother and working in the local gas station to help her mum pay the bills.

So when she sells a jackpot-winning lotto ticket and the money goes unclaimed, Rico thinks maybe her luck has changed. If she can find the ticket holder and reunite them with the cash, hopefully she will get a cut of the winnings... That is if she can avoid falling for the annoyingly handsome (and filthy rich) boy she roped into helping her with the hunt.
