The Luckiest Convenience Store In Maine Strikes Again

If you happen to be passing by, you might want to buy a lottery ticket!

The Hometown Gas & Grill has now reached legendary status after selling another big-money ticket.

The owner, Fred Cotreau, put up a Facebook post of their outdoor sign celebrating the big win.

Oh, and also, he is looking for kitchen help! Seems like the perfect time to advertise that, since everyone in town is no doubt gawking at the sign when they drive by.

Lebanon, Maine, is a small town of about 6,500 people in York County, that is currently enjoying another 15 minutes of fame.

Back in January of 2023, the Hometown Gas & Grill was the store that sold the now infamous $1.35 billion winning Mega Millions lottery ticket, and lightning struck twice when they had a one million dollar winner earlier this week.

Best of all, the store will get a nice bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The interesting part is that they open each day at 5 am, so lots of people stop by for morning coffee, so the whole town is buzzing over who won the dough You also have to factor New Hampshire into the mix, because Lebanon is very close to the Maine/N.H. border.

Last year, the area and the convenience store became national news, but folks all over the world took notice too.

Not only can you stop and fill up at Hometown Gas & Grill, but they feature some delicious home cooking too. On any given week, you can find daily specials like sloppy joes, chili cheese dogs, BBQ ribs, burgers, and plenty of other comfort foods to nosh on for lunch.

So, should you happen to find yourself in Lebanon, stop by 1498 Carl Broggie Highway, and take a look at the place where people do win...oh, and buy a ticket!
