A low-key Smoke 4 Less store in Newburgh sold two million-dollar lottery tickets just this week.. As reported by New York Post, over the past year and a half, as many as eight winning tickets have been sold here.

One customer who purchased a ticket from the store won $1 million in the Powerball lottery on Monday, March 25. The next day, another buyer won $1 million in the Mega Millions lottery, but used a multiplier option that doubled the winnings to $2 million.

A string of wins at Smoke 4 Less is attracting more and more people hoping to become the store's ninth million-dollar winner. New Yorkers living far outside of Orange County come there specifically for lottery tickets.

Two friends from Long Island hit the road hoping for luck.

“This place is definitely on a roll,” said Jack Feeley, who drove more than two hours to Smoke 4 Less. According to Feeley and his friend Bob Accurso, the stores near them rarely have winnings.

“Where I go, no one wins anything,” Accurso said sadly. “So it was probably worth changing where I bought the tickets, which is what I did.”

In neighboring New Jersey, a $1,1 billion Mega Millions winning ticket was sold at a ShopRite in Neptune.

This big win is sure to attract even more customers to stores like Smoke 4 Less. Some even use recent winning ticket sales for advertising.

“From Powerball to Mega Millions, our store makes lottery players' dreams come true,” says a post on its Facebook page.
