COBB COUNTY, Ga — At a small gas station in Marietta, they can’t print the Mega Millions lottery tickets fast enough.
In the hours leading up to the massive $1.28 billion drawing, customers hope it’s the store that will sell the grand prize ticket – because the store has sold one before.

“That’s pretty cool,” said customer Michael Bell. “Maybe it’s my lucky day!”
Back in 2016, a customer at the White Water Chevron on Cobb Parkway bought the last Mega Millions grand prize ticket sold in the state of Georgia, and walked away with $82 million.
One of the workers told us he believes the store can do it again.

“Keep doing it,” said store clerk Vicky Mistly. “So customers come to us and they get lucky.”
This time, the lucky winner will walk away a billionaire.
“Probably go on a vacation,” said customer Latrendia Walker about what she would do with the money. “Clear my mind.”
Lotto player Nakiesha Sykes said she’s buying at least 50 tickets, at the store where customers have an extra reason – to feel lucky.
“I know this store can do it. This is the lucky store,” said Sykes. “And I’m going to be the lucky winner!”
