Rachel Mercer is forty, stuck in a call center, and living quietly with her red cat, Rusty, in Wills Point, Texas. One QT stop turns into a 1.8 billion Powerball win. She keeps the secret, but the internet starts to hunt. Rumor pages circle a red Kia. A break in rattles her home. A tracker shows up under her bumper. With a careful attorney, a retired banker, and a calm FBI team, Rachel learns fast and fights small, smart, and steady.

The Ticket is a gripping domestic thriller about privacy in a loud world, the courage to leave, and a woman who refuses to be chased.
