Meet Valencia (Val) Banks Freeman. Chicagoan, WestSider, Malcolm X College graduate, Owner-Publisher of BlackSide Press, the largest community newspaper in the city, Community Activist and winner of one billion dollars from Lotto-50 - the first entire All-Fifty-States lottery. What? An activist winning the lottery? How can that be? True Activists don't buy lottery tickets. They protest against them. If you ever listened to black talk radio or seen the activists on television, then you know that the activists always have all the answers. But seldom do they ever have the money to fix the problems. Billion Dollar Winner tells the story of what happens when one of the main individuals who protested the loudest against the Lotto-50 lottery game turns out to win the very lottery she so actively disparaged. Will Val remain true to her activist nature? Or will the love of money, which is at the root of all evil, change her and make her the hypocrite everyone calls her when they find out she won the money? And just how did someone who never bought a lottery ticket in her entire life come to possess one in the first place?

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Billion Dollar Winner is a Winner! By Pamela Butler Harris I highly recommend this book for any book club or individual who enjoys well written literature that evokes feelings. The book encourages one to reflect on their morals and values, and makes for great discussion material. Billion Dollar Winner keeps you in just enough suspense for you to continue reading in anticipation as to what will happen next. I love the author's style of writing, and I look forward to reading whatever she comes out with next.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Wow! That was fun. By EW Wow! That was fun. I am not a big reader of novels but once I got into this book, I really couldn't put it down. It was fun and also inspiring. It was good to read a story about someone doing something good that wasn't all about themself. The plot was also interesting and I couldn't wait to see how she ended up with a winning ticket to begin with.I am looking forward to your next effort.

We Straight By OOSA Online Book Club A journalist, Val, is fortunate enough to get in on the ground level of the BlackSide Press, the largest African American community paper in the city of Chicago. Val's voice has become synonymous with exposes, corruption, politics, and a voice for others looking to rebuild the West Side of Chicago.When the Lotto-50, the first fifty-state lottery, begins to entice more and more people in the community to spend bill money in hopes of winning the billion, Val makes it her own personal mission to speak to the Illinois General Assembly.Val becomes the accidental winner of the very lottery after harping about the cons. With new found wealth, she learns quickly that more money, equals more problems. As Val and her family funds the Freeman Family Fund, they are met with greed, opposition and politics. Will Val lose her thrive for helping others?A.P. Jones has written a rare story. Present and appreciated are activism, black love, black history, community needs and billions of dollars. Throughout the story, I felt as if I was privy to a new lesson. Some parts were a little too bizarre and pointless, but overall, a good read. I would be remiss to not mention the grammatical errors. Even still, BILLION DOLLAR WINNER is a recommended read. Love that the story is not just based in the city of CHICAGO, but it's my very neighborhood and community.
