Washington’s Lottery has again released its list of the luckiest places to purchase a lottery ticket.
Unless you live in a certain area, road trip
According to the Lottery, by way of KIRO TV, it appears if you live in Eastern WA, or other areas, a road trip will be necessary.
The South Puget Sound region was deemed to be the “luckiest,” and a Safeway Store in Maple Valley sold a total of 16 winning tickets (of the more significant prizes) making it the luckiest overall.
