Lucky you : a novel

Lucky You is a 1997 novel by Carl Hiaasen. It is set in Florida, and recounts the story of JoLayne Lucks, a black woman who is one of two winners of a lottery. The book parodies paranoid militia movement groups that believe in somewhat bizarre conspiracy theories. It also takes a satiric look at the fictional community of Grange, Florida, (based on the real community of Cassadaga) and its cottage tourist industry based on the "discovery" of various religious miracles. A theatrical adaptation premiered in Edinburgh in 2008.
