It could be you...

Marcy Townsend has won the lottery. And not just a few hundred pounds either... she's won big. Almost £14million in fact. Amazing news, right?

Well...

The thing is, Marcy didn't buy her winning ticket, she found it. She was about to fill her recycling bin when she spotted the thing, just lying there and waiting to be noticed, to be picked up, to be invited in.

And since the numbers on that found ticket matched those spewed out of the big lottery machine, Marcy's life has taken a turn for the sinister. Ever since she found her winning ticket, death won't seem to leave her life alone.

Marcy might now be millions richer, but how much is it really going to cost her?

From the Bookstagram Awards author of 2024, Dave Musson, comes a dark urban legend from the sleepy Warwickshire town of Kingsworth, also the setting for the award-winning collection of short stories Once More Round the Sun. This tale of a cursed object brings with it dread, horror, and elaborate set pieces that wouldn't be out of place in a Final Destination movie.

So, grab your ticket and settle in... this might be your (un)lucky day!
