"As my daughter was opening the store, a customer called to let us know that our store had sold the winning Lotto ticket, so we quickly checked online and saw that our store’s name was published as selling the winning ticket – that was pretty exciting," said Narendra Desai, owner of KL Liquor & Pantry.
Desai said the store has sold several winning lottery tickets in the past five years, including a $300,000 Lucky Day Lotto ticket and a $50,000 Lotto ticket, but Monday's ticket is by far the largest winning jackpot ticket they've sold.
The store will receive a selling bonus of $56,000, or one percent of the total prize amount.
