Small store becoming the place for big lottery luck

MARQUETTE TOWNSHIP, MI (AP)--   If you believe lottery luck can strike a third time, there's a store in Marquette that sells winning tickets.  

The EZ Stop store in the Upper Peninsula city recently sold a $100,000 Fantasy 5 winner. In 2010, the store sold a Lotto ticket worth $6.5 million.

Store owner James Goodreau tells WLUC-TV it's "awesome" to see a local winner, especially if the jackpot is spent in the Marquette area.

The woman who bought the Fantasy 5 ticket at EZ Stop plans to make a few modest purchases and save the rest.
