Jackpot Junkie: A Memoir On Luck

By Tara Lee O'Brien

Book Overview

"I've hit a jackpot and beat the odds against me, and the impact pries open my awareness of luck. The jackpot is a symbol in a language I had no words for. I can translate the events of my life, from the unfortunate to the inexplicable. A jackpot is a defiance of odds, and luck is the weave that braids my life."Jackpot Junkie masterfully weaves a page-turning pendulum of Tara's relationship with astounding fortune and trauma in a memoir like no other. Whether winning lottery-sized jackpots against incredible odds or struggling to find a bed to sleep in, Tara braids luck and loss together to teach us that anyone can manifest a fortunate life.

From an early age, Tara believed she would never be lucky in life. Born into a black sheep family, she had to find the resilience and tenacity within to ascend from a childhood set in an unforgiving New York City. Tara rises from a history of severe neglect and a household of addictions to become a high-rolling gambler hitting millions-to-one jackpot on her birthday.

Jackpot Junkie is the inspiring memoir of how one woman transmuted profoundly bad luck and lifelong pain to triumph into a world of wealth, beauty, love, and family.
