Started The Winner

I started the book The Winner by David Baldacci (as you can see, im reading a lot of his books because my dad keeps buyin them) this week. The book starts with a man named Jackson, whom you find out likes to change his appearance as his business changes, offering a poor 20 year old georgian women named LuAnn Tyler a guranteed shot at winning a $50 million lottery. When he gives her the offer in his office, she doesn't believe him and to prove that he can come through on the offer, he turns on the TV on right before the winning lottery numbers for a $1 million jackpot are announced and tell LuAnn the winning numbers before they are announced. This makes LuAnn believe him that he can get her to win, but she thinks that if she accepts ths offer, she will be doing something illegal. While she is thinking about whether or not to accept the offer, she thinks about her 8 month old daughter and about how the money could get her out of the run down trailer she is living in and away from her alcoholic, unemployed boyfriend. I haven't read much of this book but i am looking forward to see if LuAnn will accept the offer or not and what Jackson really has up his sleave.
