Though the odds of winning the Powerball (and most lottery games) really aren’t in your favor, that doesn’t stop players from buying tickets.
But are you buying yours at an unlucky store in an unlucky city? New data shows that could be the case.
A study from Casino.org, a gambling advice site, analyzed state lottery data to show which cities and stores have sold the most winning Powerball and Mega Millions jackpots, and the top spots might surprise you. Though several metro Phoenix cities made the list, some smaller spots in other parts of the state made the list, too.
Here are the luckiest cities and stores in Arizona for lottery players.
