JACKPOT: the top prize in a game or lottery; a sensational and unexpected success, stroke of luck, windfall, bounty, payday ...

What would you do with $30,000,000? That’s the question everyone in Cedarville and every town near it is asking, because right now there’s an unclaimed lottery ticket worth that much—and the money will go to whoever finds it first.

Griffin Bing, The Man With The Plan, wants to be the lucky winner. But he’s got competition. Darren Vader, Griffin’s number one enemy, will stop at nothing to find it. And a new kid in town, Victor Phoenix, is also in on the big hunt. He’s got an advantage that Griffin would have never guessed:
Griffin’s own friends are helping Victor out. But why?

Griffin’s going to need a lot of help—from a rowdy Doberman, a completely strange invention, and a very random set of wheels—to hit this jackpot and win his friends back.

Gordon Korman was born in Montreal, Canada on October 23, 1963. When his 7th-grade English teacher told the class they could have 45 minutes a day for four months to work on a story of their choice, Korman began This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall. He was also the class monitor for the Scholastic TAB Book Club, so he sent his novel to the address on the TAB flyer, and a few days after his 14th birthday, he had a book contract with Scholastic. By the time he graduated from high school, he had published five other novels and several articles for Canadian newspapers. He received a BFA degree from New York University with a major in Dramatic Writing and a minor in Film and TV. He has written over 75 books for children and young adults including the Swindle series, The Juvie Three, and two books of poetry written by the fictional character Jeremy Bloom.
