If you won the lottery, what would you spend it on? For writer Andy Devlin life has always been a struggle. But when his debts spiral out of control and he's forced to sell his home to pay them off, he finds himself unable to afford a new place to live. By a malign quirk of fate, calamity strikes his two closest friends at the same time; Clive Preston is facing professional oblivion, and Brad Rowe's public relations agency is killed off by an unsympathetic bank. For the first time the three friends are split up. That is, until Brad has a dramatic change of fortune and sets about buying a luxurious new home in the country for a neighbourly reunion. But his astonishing act of generosity will create more problems than it solves... The Man Who Won is a hilarious tale of how sometimes winning isn't everything... 'Bellamy has produced a novel that is every bit as exciting as The Secret Lemonade Drinker … one of the funniest books on winning the lottery around' - Daily Express Guy Bellamy was born in Bristol but lived mostly in Surrey. After National Service in Germany with the RAF, he went into journalism and worked on newspapers in Cornwall, Bournemouth, Brighton and Fleet Street including the Daily Express and Sun . He died in 2015.
