Fourteen-year-old Arjun Patel has won the lottery seventeen times in six months.

He never meant to hack the system-he only wanted to save his family. But when a $20 ticket turns into $5,000, then $25,000, then millions, his gambling-addicted father pulls him out of school and drags him across America in a beat-up RV. State after state. Win after win. Until the wrong people notice.

Now corporate assassins stalk the highways. Shadowy financiers circle for his code. Government agents watch every move. Because the lottery was never the real prize-it was practice for something far darker: manipulating elections, crashing markets, and seizing control of the global economy.

Forced to choose between the father who betrayed him and the strangers who would weaponize his gift, Arjun must calculate the one outcome that matters most: how to survive when the odds are rigged.

Lucky Numbers is a razor-sharp thriller that combines the mathematical intrigue of The Imitation Game with the relentless suspense of The Fugitive. From desert highways to neon-lit Las Vegas, from corporate boardrooms to hidden server farms, Arjun is hunted across continents by a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government and finance.

With the help of Dakota Reeves, a former military intelligence officer, and Sage Blackwood, a CIA analyst forced to defect, Arjun transforms from exploited prodigy into a digital warrior. But victory comes at a price, and not all equations can be solved with numbers.

Perfect for fans of Ender's Game and The Hunger Games, Lucky Numbers delivers heart-pounding action, high-tech puzzles, and a deeply emotional story about family, betrayal, and the cost of extraordinary gifts. At its heart, it's a coming-of-age tale wrapped in a global conspiracy thriller-an exploration of what happens when genius meets greed in an algorithm-driven world.
