FORT MYERS, Fla.- Customers are lining up at convenience stores to buy power ball tickets. The jackpot now valued at $1.7 Billion.
So is business booming at your local corner store? The answer may surprise you.
Fox 4 News checked in with all the major convenience stores and they all said the same thing: They're busy but not in the way you would expect.
Murhid Alam at Gulf Express in North Fort Myers says he's so busy he figures he's going to have to bring in more people to work Wednesday to help deal with the expected onslaught of people.
But he admits that people aren't buying much of anything else.
Customers admit they are coming in to just get tickets and nothing else.
