Lottery sales representative Darla Zimmerman says the owners know the name of almost every person who walks through the door. Kirsh Korner Inc. became a lottery retailer in June 1990 and began selling Online Games in June 1999. The arrival of the OmniLink coincided with the Powerball roll that turned into the largest jackpot ever won in Minnesota. Online sales started with a bang and have done well ever since. People who don't play Scratch Games will play Online Games.
Local residents make up the majority of the store's customers.
Travelers, college students and truck drivers stop in on their way through the area. The Kirshs are enthusiastic when it comes to their business, and this enthusiasm shows in their approach to the Lottery. They have done many lottery promotions including second chance drawings, a play day, spin wheels, buy and get promotions and fish bowls. Rhonda Kirsh says the second chance drawings go especially well, because everybody likes to win something. Currently, they are running a punch card promotion that is going very well.
