Synopsis

The Boatwrights just won $318 million in the Georgia State Lottery. It's going to be the worst day of their lives...When two grifters pull up at a convenience store off I-95, they only want to fix a leaky tire and be on their way to Florida - away from their dull Ohio tech support jobs. But this happens to be the store from which a multimillion-dollar Jackpot ticket was sold, and the pretty clerk accidentally reveals the identity of the winning family.

From AudioFile

The Boatrights, a small-town Southern family, win $318 million, making real their dreams of the high life. Shaw and Romeo, two men who are passing through the quiet town, hear about the win and start scheming. Soon the winning ticket becomes shared earnings as a secret extortion threat hangs over the family. Robert Petkoff and Maggi-Meg Reed narrate admirably as they portray the story's characters, among them a quiet psychopath, a teenage girl, a beaten-up deputy, and a tipsy mom. However, the same characters are voiced by both narrators. Reed's voice is better suited to the women, and the deeper-voiced Petkoff should stick to the men. Nonetheless, both narrators deliver the rising tension of these intersecting lives. M.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
