A few minutes is all it takes to find someone buying a lottery ticket at the Husky convenience store in 亚洲天堂 Lake.

The store made headlines on April 25 when CBC reported that people in 亚洲天堂 Lake win the B.C. 50/50 draw 100 times more than statistics would predict. One local man is said to have won 22 times.

And the Husky station claims to be top seller of winning 50/50 tickets in the province.

John William agreed that it鈥檚 a lucky spot 鈥� along with the nearby Sne C鈥檃l Yegh Gas Bar at Lake Babine First Nation and the Rainbow Gas Bar on Highway 16.

The lucky tickets are 鈥渁lways here,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 unbelievable.鈥�

But not everyone has tapped into the supposed 亚洲天堂 Lake charm. 鈥淗e didn鈥檛 sell me a winning ticket,鈥� said Wilfred Charlie, referring to the Husky convenience store clerk. 鈥淲e spend lots.鈥�

Indeed, claims that 亚洲天堂 Lake is blessed with special good fortune likely stem from high volumes of tickets sold.

The town reportedly accounts for 4.4 percent of all B.C. 50/50 draws 鈥� and tickets purchased in 亚洲天堂 Lake represent 4.9 percent of wins.

But as they say, you can鈥檛 win if you don鈥檛 play.
