“I stop by this gas station often as it’s in my neighborhood,” said Al Rahib. “On this particular day, I wasn’t sure which lottery ticket to pick. The store associate, Romy, showed me a few options but covered the names of the games so I couldn’t see them. I randomly pointed at one – and I can’t believe the ticket I chose has made me a millionaire!”

Romy Singh, the store associate who sold Al Rahib his winning ticket, shared, “Ashur is a good and hardworking man. He’s been coming here for a long time, so we’ve gotten to know each other.”
