Missouri Store Sells Third Winning Lottory Ticket

If you want to increase your chances of winning the lottery, you might consider heading to the Show Me State. For the third time, a south St. Louis QuikTrip store makes a local resident a millionaire. The convenience store is located at 8205 Gravois and its most recent winner came on April 9th for $1.3 million. A Spokesman for the Missouri Lottery says, "This is one lucky location." Besides the lucky winner being paid handsomely, the store selling a winning ticket gets a 1-percent bonus - or $13,000 in this case. The same store sold winning tickets in June 1995 ($4.4 million) and December 1996 ($1.6-million). The latest winner has until Oct. 6 to come forward, since Missouri Lotto winners have 180 days to claim their jackpot.
