A shoe shine boy finds a lottery ticket.

In this groundbreaking book, you will learn: How to increase your chances of winning a jackpot that doesn't have to be shared with other players; How to tell when a jackpot becomes a 'positive expectation' bet and what that really means; How to keep the long arm of the government from getting its hands on significant portions of your wins; How to figure the odds on the various lotteries and the typical scratch-off tickets; How to find 'positive expectation' scratch-off games during special promotions.

Lyla Wilder is done being the shy, chemistry nerd extraordinaire. While every other college student is out having fun, Lyla is studying. With her cat.

Now she just needs some help from her best friend. Hockey player Beck Davenport thought Lyla's transformation would be subtle. Man, was he wrong. With every item she ticks off, Beck finds himself growing seriously hot for his sweet, brainiac best friend. And if he's not careful, he'll end up risking their friendship in order to convince Lyla that he might just be her lucky number seven...

Exposé Top Story: Best Making Headlines The temperature skyrocketed in Chicago this week and it had nothing to do with the weather. Our two favorite ballers went head-to-head (or should we say helmet-to-helmet?) on the practice field and there's video to prove it. Sources tell us the (sweaty, aggressive, hot-as-heck) fight that got Branch "Lucky" Best, Finn Miller, and visiting Columbus quarterback Callum Worthington ejected from practice (you must see this video!) was not over a fumbled play. It was over nothing less than Layla James Miller, Finn's younger sister. Does Layla's name sound familiar? It should. Until about five minutes ago, you could find her on Callum's well-formed arm . . . until he gave us whiplash showing up in Tahiti with the face of Ares Cosmetics, Carly Mathewson. But Callum and Layla aren't dating anymore, so where's the beef? Give us a sec. Layla James is now scoring with Branch. Yeah. We'll give that a minute to sink in. Word has it Finn isn't all that hyped about his sister playing ball with his (former?) best friend. Branch's playboy image is well-known and even better documented. A keyword search of his name on our site alone brings up thousands of hits of him with women and rarely are two the same. The question remains: why does Callum care? We'll have to wait and see. In the meantime, we'll be crying in our champagne and hoping our favorite bromance gets back on track. (And, seriously, go watch that video!) USA Today Bestselling author Adriana Locke delivers a "sweet & steamy!" tale of a football hero, his best friend's little sister, and a surprise that might be an interception ... or a Hail Mary.
