Lottoman - Paperback

Winning a billion dollars is the luckiest day of your life.

Unless you bought the ticket with a fake twenty.

Arthur Pendleton is thirty-two, perpetually exhausted, and utterly desperate to be left alone. After losing his soul-crushing data entry job to a spatial anomaly that vaporized half of downtown Chicago, Arthur is down to his last few dollars.

Then, the impossible happens. A Quick Pick lottery ticket purchased at a dingy gas station hits the $1.8 billion Mega-Millions jackpot.

However, Arthur's winning ticket was bought using a flawless counterfeit twenty-dollar bill gifted to him by a local street hustler. Now, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is knocking on his dilapidated farmhouse door, heavily armed and fully prepared to seize his fortune under civil asset forfeiture laws.

What the FBI doesn't know is that Arthur isn't just a disgruntled former office worker. He's a metahuman who defies the laws of physics. He's spent his entire life hiding his powers to avoid the exhausting inconvenience of being a superhero. But as the government attempts to steal his ticket, and internet outrage mobs unite to demand a piece of the pie, Arthur is finally going to stop playing by the rules.
