On September 2022, the store sold a $20 million winning scratch ticket to a customer from Harlingen.
Among those trying their luck at the store is Lee Herrera.
“It’s an awesome lotto, I can pay a lot of bills with this,” Herrera said, adding he usually doesn’t play the lottery.
The drawing is set for Friday, Jan. 13 at 11 p.m.
If no one wins, the prize will increase to $1.62 billion for a drawing to be held Tuesday, Jan. 17.
