FRAZIER PARK, Calif. — A liquor store in a tiny California mountain town reverberated with excitement Thursday after word that the winning ticket for a $1.765 billion Powerball jackpot was sold there.and brought news media to Midway Market & Liquor in Frazier Park, a community of 2,600 residents about 75 miles north of Los Angeles.The winner had not come forward to him, he said, adding that he hoped it is one of his regular customers. Most are local retirees, he said.
Clerk Janea Herrera at first thought it was a joke when she was told the winning ticket was sold at the store 6 miles from the nearest interstate, She said she had no idea who bought the ticket but noted that most customers are local regulars.“It’s a tightknit community, everybody knows each other,” she said, describing Frazier Park as “pretty quiet, beautiful, you can see the stars at night.”
That didn’t bother those eager to plunk down their money ahead of Wednesday’s drawing for a long shot at instant wealth. “I would take care of family and give my cat that extra leg that she needs and make her a good kitty,” said Salvato, who got married on Saturday.Nevada is among the five states without Powerball, so friends Tamara Carter and Denise Davis drove from Las Vegas to California to buy tickets. The line was so long at their first stop that they went in search of another store.
