Cockeysville 7-Eleven Sells $250K Winning Lottery Ticket
The convenience store sold over $12,000 in tickets the day of the drawing.
The employees behind the counter at the 7-Eleven at 9707 Beaver Dam Road were surprised Saturday afternoon when they discovered they had sold one of the four $250,000 winning Mega Millions tickets that hit in Maryland
The winning ticket shouldn't come as a surprise, however, considering that just Friday the convenience store sold over $12,000 in tickets, said Elham Ali, a clerk of eight years at that 7-Eleven location. (See photo.)
Another employee, Ahmed Nassar, said he remembered selling 10 different people at least $100 worth of tickets.
