Recently, Washington-based lottery game Lotto grew to $12.3 million, the highest jackpot in a decade. The winning ticket for the July 3 drawing was sold at local store Brier Grocery (23607 Brier Rd). The winning ticket has not yet been turned in.

When asked what it meant to sell Lottery tickets at their store, a Brier Grocery employee said, "Being a community store in a small town, we like to take requests from our neighbors. We began selling Lottery tickets after requests for our local community members. We enjoy connecting with our customers about which scratch tickets they like to play and why. Everyone I talk to outside of our town asks me where Brier is, and now thanks to the Washington State Lottery, people will know!” 

Proceeds from Washington’s Lottery benefit the Washington Opportunity Pathways Account, providing grants to college students statewide. To learn more about Washington’s Lottery, its beneficiaries and to review all up-to-date winning numbers, please visit www.walottery.com.
