In ""What Are the Odds?"", former California Lottery investigator Gary Reid Galbreath delivers a riveting insider account of corruption, mismanagement, and betrayal within one of the nation's largest state lotteries.

As a sworn Peace Officer tasked with ensuring the integrity of California's multi-billion-dollar lottery operation, Galbreath investigated hundreds of cases of fraud and theft. But his most important investigation would be into the Lottery itself-revealing how executives systematically diverted millions of dollars in public education funds and retaliated against anyone who dared speak up.

With unflinching honesty, Galbreath recounts his journey from idealistic law enforcement officer to reluctant whistleblower. He details shocking cases of retailer fraud, institutional negligence, and the deliberate payment of prizes to individuals who weren't lawful winners-all while education funding suffered. When he and his partner finally reported these violations to state authorities, they found themselves targeted by the very people they thought would protect them.

This eye-opening memoir exposes how state-run lotteries, ostensibly created to benefit public education, can become breeding grounds for misconduct when oversight fails. Galbreath's personal story illuminates the heavy price whistleblowers pay for their integrity and raises disturbing questions about government accountability that transcend party lines.

A cautionary tale of moral courage in the face of institutional power, ""What Are the Odds?"" will forever change how you view government-operated gambling enterprises.

If you enjoyed ""Whistleblower: My Journey to Silicon Valley and Fight for Justice at Uber,"" ""Crisis of Conscience,"" and ""Bad Bet,"" you'll love ""What Are the Odds? Blowing the Whistle on California's Lottery.""
