  Where would a lucky Powerball ticket be sold at? I know it's random, but what would fare the best?

   

  7-Eleven had lots of winners over the years. Some even bought a winning ticket at Speedway. Second prize winners bought their ticket at the Michigan-based Meijer chain (Though, I was unlucky at their gas stations). 

   

   

  The rest got their tickets at a  mom-and-pop store/different brand gas station.

   

  So, if I were to buy a PB ticket this Saturday or later, what would YOU think is the luckiest place?

  My pick is 7-Eleven because they won a lot of jackpots before!

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars! I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the largest Mega Millions jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!

  I have yet to find a particular store for the PB that has been better than another. I am a QP person about 95% of the time until the jackpot gets up in that $400+ Million range,then I have a set group of numbers along with a QP.

  I have found one local small chain store that has treated me fairly well with 4 #'s (QP's) for the TX lotto on 2 separate occasions in the last 2-3 years. I have had 3 #'s  right about 25-30 times with QP's from that store as well.

  There is one little country store (serves a fantastic burger) that I occasionally purchase a QP/scratcher from in hopes that I win a jackpot so they get $$  and can fix their gosh darn ceiling/share $$ with the employees. They have the suspended ceiling with those  white panels that are about 3x2 and the ceiling is about 8 feet high. The panels get dirty from food cooking and they don't really take care of the store that well. Some of the shelves have bare spots and excessive dust. Maybe some of us know/associate with that type of little store in our respective communities... Anyway, I would like to see them get some cash cause they are always honest in checking my tickets, nice and pleasant to chat with and I know they don't make great wages................ Just my 2 pennies on the subject.

  That is how I play CDanaT, I buy quick picks 99% of the time, and have much better luck.   I have been in many store and diners like you mentioned that are run down. That is very thoughtful of you. I like to see the Little Guy win too.
