VANCOUVER, B.C., June 24, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Randy Rush does not have a Superman red cape, but perhaps he should. From ordinary man to multi-millionaire, Randy couldn't believe his luck when a trip to the corner store just to get cat food in 2015 found him the verified winner of the Canadian Lotto Max jackpot. The prize? Fifty million dollars, tax free.

Having grown up poor and disadvantaged, Randy managed to carve a decent life for himself, but he never imagined he'd be on the receiving end of such a life changing windfall. When Randy's close friend and church buddy introduced him to his entrepreneur son who had a new tech startup, it wasn't long before Randy was sucked in and became an early stage investor.

"A thrilling remembrance by a fighter of white-collar crime” — Kirkus Reviews

Post this

A few million dollars' worth of real estate, lavish sports cars, swanky business trips, and outrageous corporate spending later, it was clear the business venture was nothing more than an elaborate rouse orchestrated by a practiced white collar crime con-artist named Jeremy Crawford whose sole mission was to scam Randy out of millions.

While the two became entangled in a heated legal battle that spanned the next several years, Randy describes as "emotionally devastating," Randy learned more than anyone should ever have to know about white-collar crime. "White-collar crime can affect anyone, from the working class to the wealthy. I was shocked to discover that the same con-man who had taken me on such a ride of betrayal and devastation had swindled hundreds of other victims, all while managing to evade arrest or prosecution. This is unacceptable. I have made it my mission to expose this underbelly of social injustice because no one should go through what we victims have gone through with the likes of Crawford," explains Randy.

Knowing most victims do not have the same resources he has Randy was faced with a difficult decision: let the personal betrayal he felt forever harden him to the outside world, or focus on a new calling to fight back against white-collar crime and all social injustice to best of his ability and newly gained resources. In our current world where racial tension and health related social inequity are at the forefront, Randy's timing to step forward to help could not be better.

The book has been hailed as "A thrilling remembrance by a fighter of white-collar crime" by Kirkus Reviews, and a "a delightful read--one that also includes an invaluable cautionary tale about people and money," by BlueInk Reviews.13 Billion to One is a "...fast-paced debut memoir....readers will enjoy this rags-to-riches memoir about bringing a con artist to justice," says BookLife.

13 Billion to One (published by Rantanna Media) comes out on June 24, 2020 (in paperback, hardcover and ebook), and is currently available for pre-order at Amazon, Chapters Indigo and other booksellers worldwide. For more information, visit RandyRushSpeaks.com.

About Randy Rush:
Randy Rush Speaks… And the World Listens

Randy Rush is the epitome of the "nice guy" who refuses to finish last. Randy learned young that his big heart, big personality and his undeniable wild streak were not to be tamed. Despite growing up poor, struggling in school, and relying on welfare more than once, Randy never let his humble beginnings define him. Likewise, Randy has not let his lottery windfall define him either. Randy's motto is: "How can you measure a man by all that he has; You can have the world and still lose your soul." Randy is not defined by what he now has, but rather by how he can contribute to social justice causes in a world urgently in need.    

Lightning struck the day Randy ran to the corner store to pick up cat food for his beloved 27-pound Maine Coon cat lovingly named "Conway Kitty." Randy decided to present his pocketful of old lotto tickets to the cashier with no expectation of winning. His world changed as he stood at the cash register watching the cashier's jaw drop as she told him he had won $50 million in the Canadian Lotto Max jackpot. The odds of winning were thirteen billion to one. Randy immediately quit his job and gathered his family of friends to share the news. More importantly, he pledged not to squander this great gift and to elevate his meaning and purpose in life.

When a close friend entangled him in an intricate con that took him for nearly $5 million, Randy discovered the unfortunate truth about white-collar crime—it affects everyone from the working class to the wealthy. The con men of white collar crime hit struggling people of color as well as the white establishment. More often than not, social justice does not prevail, and the criminals go unpunished.

Determined to use his great gift for social good, Randy decided to take the resources his wealth assures him, to help those less fortunate—fighting back against white-collar crime and other social injustices. This book marks the beginning of the next phase of Randy's life journey to make a positive difference in our world. He asks his readers to buckle up for the wild ride that unfolds in the first edition of his memoir 13 Billion To One, available world-wide on June 24, 2020.
