Adult bookstore sells $128m lottery ticket - and the winner can't stay anonymous
A Michigan store that sells adult books, pornographic movies and sex toys has also sold a winning lottery ticket worth $128million.
Uptown Bookstore, in Highland Park, Michigan, sold Saturday's only winning Powerball ticket.
The winner has not yet come forward - and, under state rules, winners cannot remain anonymous when they claim their win.
The prospect of being exposed as someone who shops for adult goods is unlikely to put off the mystery winner from claiming their $128million, however.
The ticket was the only one to match all of the numbers of the jackpot - 7, 12, 23, 34, 38 and 33.
Now resident are expecting the ticket sale will boost sales at the shop.
'Maybe it's a lucky spot,' one resident observed.
Recently a Canadian couple who won $11.2million on the lottery gave it all away to friends, charities and hospitals.
Allen and Violet Large, both in their 70s, said their good fortune earlier this year had been a 'big headache' and they had decided against going on a spending spree.
'What you’ve never had, you never miss,' Violet, 78, told the Toronto Star.
She and Allen, 75, eventually decided it was better to give than receive and were totally at ease with handing over the money.
