People know we've had so many winners we're considered a lucky place. Upton views the lottery as a benefit. It brings people in. It's an impulse buy. Willie's Korner Store regularly runs a second chance drawing promotion.
Customers drop their non-winning tickets in a basket located above the register.
Every two weeks Willie's staff draws for prizes ranging from pop to t-shirts. Lottery sales representative Darla Zimmerman attributes Willie's lottery success to the owners and staff being friendly and personable. Willie's is one of my favorite stops.
