A small-town diner has sold its fifth major lottery-winning ticket in just two years. The Old South Diner in Nantucket is the establishment behind the latest windfall.
A customer recently purchased a Powerball ticket there that secured a $2 million jackpot. The winner has been identified as Mary Haley.
This marks the fifth time since 2022 that the diner has sold a ticket worth at least $1 million. The string of wins has made the location a notable spot for lottery players.
The diner itself does not receive a monetary prize for selling winning tickets. However, the repeated success has generated significant local attention and customer traffic.
Lottery officials have confirmed the validity of this latest winning ticket. The prize was claimed following the standard verification process.
Such a concentrated series of wins at a single retailer is statistically unusual. It highlights the random nature of lottery drawings and ticket sales.
The diner’s owners have expressed happiness for the winners. They note the excitement each event brings to the community.
