Tribune reporter Lindsay Peterson pried five years worth of data from the state lottery last year for a project called, “How the lottery plays you.”
It’s worth reprising one of the more useful findings from that effort: Where you can find the luckiest lottery stores.
Here’s a list of the Hillsborough County retailers that paid out the most money for each dollar spent on the lottery there in 2009.
- College Hill Pharmacy, 3503 N 22nd Street, $13.72
- Price Buster Food Center, 3412 W Baker St., $5.62
- J & J Wine & Spirits, 13904 W Hillsborough Ave., 3.89
- Metro Market @ Kennedy, 4650 W Kennedy Blvd., $3.38
- Kmart #4245, 8245 N. Florida Ave., $3.04
