Dianne Canton is a
lawyer whose life is in dire straits. She's lost her apartment and car.
Dianne is living in her rundown office in downtown San Jose.
When Emma Watkins knocks on her
door, Dianne thinks she is a bill collector. Emma turns out to be a
former judge who holds a $73 million lottery ticket that will expire in
about 24 hours.
Years ago, the media destroyed
Emma and her family in a bitter recall election. Emma wants to stop the
media from publicizing her name as the winner of the lottery.
If Dianne wins Emma's case, her
money troubles will be over. If Dianne loses, Emma will lose $73
million.

Excerpt from "24 Hour Lottery Ticket"
"I will do what it takes to get my money," Emma hissed.
"I’m so sick of you, this case and my lawyer who barely passed the bar."
I gave Emma a stern look. "Emma, what are you talking about?"
"Dianne, for Christ’s sake, it took you five times to
pass," Emma said.
"I’m not ashamed of that," I responded. "A lot of my
classmates never passed."
"That’s because you went to a law school that
doesn’t
exist anymore," Emma sneered.
