South Jersey Store Sells Two $1 Million Lotto Tickets In 2 Years

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ - Each time a winning $1 million lottery ticket is sold, the store that sells the ticket makes a $1,000 bonus. One South Jersey liquor store has made $2,000 in two years.

A $1 million ticket was sold at Wrightstown Wine and Liquor, 403 East Main Street in Wrightstown for the drawing on Friday, Dec. 28, 2018. It was a second-tier prize in the Mega Millions jackpot drawing.

The same liquor store sold a $1 million Powerball winner in February 2017. The store sells about 1,500 to 2,000 tickets for each big lottery jackpot drawing, the store’s owners told the Courier Post.

"When the Powerball hit for a million dollars, people said it would not happen again," manager Parul Patel told the newspaper. "Now we can tell them lightning can strike twice."
