Rosauers on W Francis Ave in Spokane Tops the List as the “Luckiest Store”

OLYMPIA – With St. Patrick’s Day upon us, Washington’s Lottery is sharing its “Luckiest Stores” – retail locations that have sold the most Scratch tickets with prizes worth $1,000 or more in the previous calendar year. Washington’s Lottery has released a “Luckiest Stores” list for six regions around the state: Tri-Cities, Puget Sound, Olympic Peninsula, Eastern Washington, Southwest Washington, and Central Washington.

Rosauers located at 1724 W Francis Ave in Spokane is the “Luckiest Store” in Eastern Washington with nine big Scratch wins in 2017.

The top 10 “Luckiest Stores” around Eastern Washington are:

• Nine Big Wins: Rosauers at 1724 W Francis Ave in Spokane
• Eight Big Wins: Safeway at 14020 E Sprague Ave in Spokane Valley
• Six Big Wins: Yoke’s Foods at 210 E North Foothills Dr in Spokane

When winners from the Eastern Washington Region were asked how they plan to spend the money, some shared plans to give back to their community.

“I was taking my son to soccer practice when I stopped by the gas station to check my ticket. When I found out I won, I kept thinking, ‘Wow, how did this happen?’” The winner, a Spokane resident, told Washington’s Lottery officials he plans to donate a good portion of his prize money to his local Union Gospel Mission, as the organization helped a friend of his in the past. “I believe in giving back to organizations that benefit the community.”
