Book Details
Julius Caesar “Whizzer” McCall had never made much of a mark in the world—until he won the largest lottery jackpot in history, and saw his life turned upside down as a result. An ongoing battle with his ex-girlfriend; struggles with neighbors who didn’t think he deserved the huge prize; a huge “gift” he gave to his hometown, but in an unexpected way; and a sudden change of scenery are high points in this book. It’s funny, folks; and, I like to think, thought-provoking. “It gets your curiosity stirred up. You just have to read one more page, hoping the answer is there. “You can’t help but laugh as you slide back in time with the phrases and terms that haven’t been heard for years. “I enjoyed Wayne’s imagination and talent and surely you will, too. There seems to be a small piece of history from each of us in his writings. “I highly recommend Wayne’s book.” —Richard “Rich” Berry, author of “Growing Up in North Madison—1945 and On,” a book of poetry about his and Wayne’s childhood growing up near the Ohio River in Southeast Indiana.
