Anything You Want Ken Byers

Picture Sam Malone buying Cheers, moving it to rural Drain, Oregon, winning the lottery and trying not to tell anyone. In Anything You Want, Sam's name is Clay Weatherly. He's parked his log truck and used the inheritance from his mother's estate to buy Reba's Bar and Grill. He installs the lottery, and after inspiration tells him how to spend the money if he wins, Clay buys tickets. When he wins the third largest Powerball jackpot ever, Clay and his family decide to keep quiet until they come up with a plan to keep the money and their friends while they try to fix their world. Infused with a sneaky and subtle humor, Anything You Want deals with Clay's struggles with a drunk father burdened by his past, Clay's desire to repair his family's legacy in the forests, Reba's Powerball ticket printer blessed by a chef descended from Scottish witches, a music service that can foretell the near future, and a memorable cast of regular customers and small town characters energized by the outside's world attention.
