Lucky Liquor Store? Michigan Vendor Has Sold $100M in Winning Lottery Tickets

Could this be the luckiest liquor store for playing the lottery 

For those in Michigan hoping to take home the $900 million Powerball prize, they might want to trek out to Party World in Alpine Township, which has earned the nickname "Lucky Shamrock."

The store's manager, David Castor, told NBC News that they've sold more than $100 million in lottery winnings over the last five years — and their lucky streak is being credited to the discovery of a four leaf clove

Party World owner Dan Bekins was cleaning in a backroom about 20 years ago when he found the lucky leaf. He decided to put it on display at the front of the store, hoping that the treasure would bring good fortune to his financial operations

 Little did Bekins know that the luck of the shamrock would be bestowed on lottery ticket purchasers, including a recent winner who last month pocketed $100,000 off of a $3 scratch-off.

"He is a regular customer — a really great guy," Castor said. "He deserved it."

Castor said the charmed clover is "heavily laminated" to protect it from all of the lottery tickets that are rubbed on it for good luck
