Lottery Mystery Irony

(CBS)  The waiting game continues in tiny Jacksonville, Oregon, where the $340 million winning Powerball ticket was sold.

The winner still hasn't come forward, and locals are wondering who among them has 340 million reasons to smile.

What's more, only two stores in the southwest Oregon town sell Powerball tickets, and the store that sold this winner gets a $100,000 cut. So the owner of one store and manager of the other are on pins and needles, as well.

And it just so happens that both have sold winning lottery tickets before.

Andy Gough is co-owner of the J-ville Tavern, and Ray's Food Place is managed by Randy Lewis.

Lewis

told

The Early Show co-anchor Rene Syler Friday that he's "excited, wanting to know who won," though the corporate owner of Ray's would get the $100,000, not him.

Gough is hoping lightning has struck twice, telling Syler that in 2001 they had an $8.75 million Megabucks winner at her tavern.

"It would be really great if it was one of our local customers," Gough says. "That's always fun."

Lewis said Lady Luck has shined on his store before, too: "We've also sold a Megabucks ticket here. And we had a winner of $853,000 on the Powerball that was sold here.

"Everybody's curious who is holding that ticket," Lewis added. "A lot of are people coming in checking tickets.

"Everybody wants to know," Gough agreed. "There's a lot of speculation, you know, who's doing what, who's not showing their face for a while. But that's just the way it is. Could be a month down the road."
