"We have had a lot of fun and excitement being part  of this with our customers," said John Boulukos, owner of Friendly's. "The most fun for us is when the customers win while they are in the store. Seeing their reaction and the excitement winning brings is fantastic!"  

Friendly's most recent big winner was a $10,000 Powerball ticket from Feb. 15. The man had four of the five numbers plus the Powerball. He missed the winning ticket by just one digit, which would have amounted to $60 million.

"People are eager to hear about how winners react and it gives us all a moment to dream," Boulukos said. "Hopefully we can continue to have more winners and spread the luck!."
