DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR THE LOTTERY WINNER’S GREATEST RIDE

By Skip Johnson

Whole Group Discussion:

What is your overall opinion of the book?

Do you have a favorite quote from the book? 

Of the spiritual lessons Phillip learned, which resonated with you the most? 

For small group discussion:

How does the lottery win serve as a catalyst for a deeper spiritual or personal awakening? How does the protagonist’s mindset shift before and after winning the lottery?

New Thought emphasizes abundance as a natural state. How does Phillip’s journey illustrate a shift from scarcity to abundance? 

How is faith—in oneself, the Universe or a higher power—depicted in the narrative? 

What does the book suggest about the true nature of success or fulfillment? 

Whole Group Discussion: Life application
