The Winning Ticket | Uncovering America’s Biggest Lottery Scam by Rob Sand follows the author’s investigation into a mysterious lottery ticket and the scheme it uncovers. Both a story of small-town America and a true-crime saga about the largest lottery-rigging scheme in American history, The Winning Ticket follows the investigation all the way down the rabbit hole to uncover how Eddie Tipton was able to cheat the system to win jackpots over $16 million and go more than a decade without being caught—until Sand inherited the case.
What’s Luck Got to Do With It? | How Smarter Government Can Rescue The American Dream by Edward Kleinbard examines the impact of brute luck in life.

Kleinbard shows that while we can’t undo every instance of misfortune, we can offer a path to not just a fairer America, but greater economic growth, more broadly shared.

Walden on Wheels | On The Open Road from Debt to Freedom by Ken Ilgunas recounts the author’s adventure to get out his student debt and to avoid it in his future.
