A Michigan store is gaining a reputation as a lucky spot after selling a $300,000 winning lottery ticket and a ticket worth $25,000 a year for life within two months.

"I scratched the ticket when I got in my truck. When I revealed the sixth red word, I checked the ticket over at least 10 times before taking it back into the store and scanning it," the player told lottery officials.
"When the 'file a claim' message came up on the lottery machine, I walked back to my truck, locked the doors, and drove straight home to put the ticket in a safe spot."
The store's lucky streak continued into this month when Sonia McCarthy bought a Lucky for Life ticket and ended up winning $25,000 a year for life.
"I told my parents one night how I have been quite lucky on the Lucky for Life game, so I was going to continue playing it," McCarthy said. "I checked my ticket the next morning and was totally floored when I saw I won $25,000 a year for life! It's almost like I spoke it into existence since I won the night I told my parents it was my lucky game."
