California lottery officials identified the store where an individual bought the Powerball ticket that landed the recent $1.765 billion jackpot. That Frazier Park-area store is Midway Market & Liquor, according to a press release from the California Lottery. Nidal Khalil, named by the lottery, co-owns the business. The state lottery revealed the name of the store Thursday, the day after the winning five white balls and single red one were selected in a closely watched Powerball drawing.
In the press release, Khalil expressed gratitude toward his community and the California Lottery, adding that he wanted to put his portion toward future schooling for his kids. "I want to make sure my kids have enough funds for college," he said. "I think this could be the biggest thing that’s ever happened at Frazier Park," the New York Post quoted him as saying. "I hope it is one of my regular customers because we have a few who buy tickets every day.
