This is a role-playing novel that reveals how small decisions can have monumental consequences. If you choose the right possibilities you may live a long happy life, or be immensely rich, or powerful, or win the lottery. If you make other choices you may become a murderer, die young, make every mistake possible, or make no impression on life at all. The choice is yours.
"Put LIfes Lottery on your summer reading list" - Retrenders
"Newman can be twisted, deranged and just plain off the charts. Lifes Lottery takes it to a whole new level, leaving the reader responsible for their own actions and unable to just melt into the subtle brain space of reading a book. Lifes Lottery is an enjoyable, albeit highly twisted, way to spend an afternoon." - The Geek Girl Project
"Alot of fun." - FanGirl Confessions
"Brilliant AND hugely entertaining. Recommended unreservedly." - Comic Book Resources
a pretty staggering achievement...the issues of free will and predestination will definitely remind you of the Netflix experiment [Bandersnatch], played out on a slightly bigger canvas - Barnes & Noble SFF Blog
