“Money matters, it can change a person’s life for the better, open doors, and offer freedom. But it’s also a wild animal. If you’re not careful, it will turn on you. It can destroy relationships, twist values, and leave devastation in its wake just as easily as it can bring comfort. That's what I learned in my journey of winning the lottery for millions. My book isn't about money, it's about everything else."

Set in a quiet town outside Seattle, The Root of All Evil follows the owners and employees of the M&M Quick Stop, a humble convenience store with a quirky tradition: whenever the store’s spare change dish fills up, the team buys a single lottery ticket to share. But when Darla, a new hire, discovers that the latest ticket is worth millions, she makes a decision that turns everyone's lives upside down; she claims the prize for herself.

"So what do you do when you have no idea what to do? Who can you trust? I called Bill Nussbaum for advice, a long-time business acquaintance with a background in law, and he helped me get a temporary restraining order to block Darla’s claim on the ticket. Now began an odyssey that nearly shattered everything I cherished, everything I had ever lived for," Eldredge exclaims.

What follows is a high-stakes descent into greed, betrayal, and moral decay. As deception and manipulation rip apart the once-close-knit group, long-buried tensions surface, forcing each character to confront the devastating choices they must make, sacrificing their values in the name of justice or revenge. Eldredge reflects, "I didn’t inherit the money. I didn’t save it. I didn’t work for it. I won the Washington State lottery, and I didn’t even buy the ticket. Yet, I’ve never worked harder or paid a higher price for any amount of money."

One reader says, "A unique perspective on winning the lottery, Eldredge's story challenges the common fantasy of instant wealth. Instead of a dream life, his win brings chaos, distrust, and danger. The book serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating that money can magnify both the best and worst aspects of people."
