Lotto Frenzy Is Good For Local Business Sales

With so many people buying lottery tickets for tonight's 1.5 billion dollar drawing, business is up for many establishments. 

Employees at the Willow Creek Deli Market in Belleville have been hearing customers pick numbers the whole day.  The lotto machine has been working non-stop.

Joseph Kamposh, who works at the market, says that's good for business no matter how much customers buy in lottery tickets.  Some people have spent hundreds of dollars.  That's caused sales to increase by almost five hundred percent at Willow Creek.

The drawing will take place tonight at 10:59 PM.
