Seventeen year old Jason Breezey lost his mother when he was eight. Now, he loses his father just months before graduating high school. But unknown to him, his father may have purchased the winning ticket to the largest undivided jackpot in lottery history just days before his death.

Unfortunately for Jason, Martin Chesterfield, The CEO of the firm his father worked for, finds out about the winning ticket. Fueled by greed and power, Martin will stop at nothing to find the ticket and claim the historic prize for himself.

Before long, others join in the hunt for the mysterious ticket, a hunt that leaves everyone's life hanging in the balance. In this mystery/thriller, loyalties are tested, alliances become fluid and scruples are put to the test for everyone. Only one thing remains certain... everyone is set on being the one to find The Lottery Ticket.

4.0 out of 5 stars A big lottery win can change your life for the better or can make your life miserable !!

The Lottery Ticket: A Novel  was a page turner for me starting from the descriptions on the very first page and kept my interest through out the entire story. This story hits you like drinking many cups of caffeine coffee, soda or energy drinks, which overstimulates you. You find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat turning the pages as fast as you can read, at times holding your breath, concentrating and thinking what is going to happen and what is the outcome going to be. There are many many twists, threats, turns, sad times, depressing times, a few loving friends and you wonder about what the uncertainties are ahead for Jason.

Shows you who your friends really are and who all the greedy people you know who have only one thing in mind when it comes to money. This is a well thought out mystery/thriller story.
 The Lottery Ticket: A Novel  by Tony Eldridge is the first story I have read by this author and I look forward to reading his next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast-Paced Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2011
As novelist Tony Eldridge did in his first thriller, "The Samson Effect," in his new thriller, "The Lottery Ticket," he has again skillfully handled multiple points of view and multiple plotlines all converging on one central point.

He keeps the action churning, putting the reader on pins and needles to discover how things will turn out. And when Tony gets to the denouement, he provides a satisfactory ending while leaving the door open for a possible sequel.

If you like suspenseful stories of good against evil, you'll like this story of ordinary people triumphing over power and money.

-- Phyllis Zimbler Miller, author of "Mrs. Lieutenant"

4.0 out of 5 stars Greed is a powerful motive

"A thunderous bang shattered the surreal moment as the car hit the slope of the mountainside. Jason watched trees and bushes fly by as he stomped with full force on the brakes. The seatbelt cut into him like a violent fist refusing to let go. He lost all orientation when the car started tumbling down the slope." -  The Lottery Ticket: A Novel

The Lottery Ticket: A Novel  is a fast-paced, easy-reading thriller populated with complex characters, each with his/her own agenda. Greed is a powerful motive.

Eldridge's writing flows with an ease and naturalness that makes reading a pleasure. It's a "clean" story - no offensive language or the like - which also makes it suitable for a younger audience.

I look forward to reading more from this author.

Tony Eldridge has taken a great premise, one to which anyone would have a strong emotional reaction -- What if you won a fortune in the lottery? -- and made it even more interesting with thriller-writer's twist -- To what lengths might others go to claim the prize for themselves?

Highly recommended for anyone who likes believable characters in exciting situations, a great way to spice up your reading list.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fact paced mystery
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2011
If I could have given a 3.5 I would have however because it's better than ok but less than 100% liking it. Overall I liked the plot. The quest is to find the "lottery ticket," worth a billion dollars. There are interesting subplots which add twists and turns in this fast paced read. The main characters (Protaganist,his friend, and the Antagonist) believable and interesting.I liked that there were young adults in story who weren't stereotyped.

What interfered with the reading were the shifting points of view (pov's) with the same chapter and some violations of pov. This had me slow down in my reading and ask 'who's talking now?' There are also some inaccuracies of law enforcement terms and processes that deter from the authenticity of the story. If you reference LAPD, ensure they have a CSI unit (they don't-called something else),same for FBI protocols (when an agent is missing all hell breaks loose looking for an agent-but not so in story, there are no internships for 19-20 year olds either).

Closure was satisfying and we know there will be a sequel.
