is this a sign that other cities are just giving nc free money when there are never any winning tickets in a certain area...... i notice the cash 5 usually comes from a major city all the smaller ones usually just get a dollar...

Stick with them. One day soon you'll be glad you did.

I agree on both counts. I think i'm finally mature enough to handle a big win

I drive past a store with a sign out front that says 10,000 winner!! and buy tickets at my little struggling store run by a very nice Hispanic family, it is run down and has a lot of stray dogs out front. I know one day they will sell a big ticket and I think they deserve a big win too

I don't think there's any lucky stores within 200 miles of me. Nobody ever wins anything out here in the country, especially back up in the mountain areas. Seems like all the winnin' scratchers are sent to the big city but that's alright.

Thank God I'm a country boy.

That's a smart 21 year-old. If I had won a million when I was 21 I would've been broke by 22.

I'd rather take my chances with a place that hasn't sold any winners. At least in Fl, very rarely does a retailer sell more than one winner. In fact, in the whole state there's probably less than 10 that have. I checked. In my neighborhood there's two places that have sold big winners. I don't buy my tix there.

Chris Pennington slid the scratch-off ticket across the counter, repeating a ritual she'd performed hundreds of times. Hours later, she'd learn that her customer had won a six-figure surprise.

I actually felt sick that day knowing I'd held $100,000 and gave it away, she said.

The manager of Will's Food Store in Mount Holly, Pennington has seen her share of others' good fortune. Will's boasts the most lottery payouts of any retailer in Gaston County, according to figures from the N.C. Educ... [ More ]
