About this product
Product Information
For the better part of a decade, Edward Ugel spent his time closing deals with lottery winners, making a lucrative and legitimate-if sometimes not-so-nice-living by taking advantage of their weaknesses . . . weaknesses that, as a gambler himself, he knew all too well. In Money for Nothing, he explores the captivating world of lottery winners and shows us how lotteries and gambling have become deeply inscribed in every aspect of American life, shaping our image of success and good fortune. Money for Nothing is a witty, wise, and often outrageously funny account of high expectations and easy money.Product Identifiers

Fun Read
A lovely easy read that I found hard to put down. I did in fact complete the book in just two sessions. I think initially I kept reading because as the book was about American lottery winners it rapidly became obvious that the way their winnings are - or were - paid out are vastly different to the UK. Of course never having bought a lottery ticket in my life I could be wrong about that, but that fact was it took me several chapters to understand why the business existed and if I was actually understanding what was going on. After that the stories were a compelling fun read and I had to keep moving on from one to the other until the book was exhausted. I like books that suck me into their subject so I do not want to put them down and this certainly did that!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
