Getting Lucky, by Ben Johnson, is a compilation of his newspaper columns over the years, answering questions posed by his readers regarding the lottery. The book addresses lotteries in most states, the multi-state lotteries, and the daily pick 3 and pick 4 games.

Being a compilation of his columns, some of the questions are redundant, and should have only been included one time, not multiple times. Also, the information is a little dated. For example, the Texas lottery was just starting when some of the questions were posed, and is not addressed at all in other questions and answers.

The book is a good "basic" guide to the lottery for the beginning lottery player. It is highly entertaining and does shed good information, even though out of date. However, to the more experienced lottery player, there is little to offer.

This is not a bad book, just a little dated and includes redundant questions. It is a fast, quick read, being in a question and answer format.

This book has a lot of different info about lotto and lottery. I found almost everything what I want to know. Not all info is current for now, but it does not do this book worse for reading.
