Powerball fever is surging in the Bay Area as the jackpot swells to $1.2 billion.
At the Valley Convenient Mart in Martinez, customers are hoping for a supersized repeat of a recent win.
Last month, a customer at the convenience store purchased a Powerball ticket that netted $725,000. Since that winning ticket was sold, manager Shiva Shresta says business has picked up with customers hoping the lucky trend continues. "Hopefully it increases my chances...have an upper hand on other people," Manuel Maldonado of Martinez said.
