A convenience store in Buckhead may soon be a mecca for superstitious lottery players after it sold its second winning ticket in the last three years.

According to WSB-TV, Pharr Food & Gas sold an instant game ticket to Daniel Jimenez, who subsequently became $2.5 million richer. Jimenez claimed his prize on March 30, the station says.

In 2012, Pharr Food & Gas sold an instant ticket which won an Atlanta woman $400,000.
