Another billion-dollar Powerball jackpot, another big win for a SoCal immigrant-owned shop

LA Times  

Brothers Chris, left, and Johnny Khalil, center, and their father Nidal share a laugh Thursday inside Nidal’s Midway Market & Liquor Frazier Park in Kern County, where a Powerball ticket worth $1.765 billion was sold. I’m sure it’s a local or someone will know them.” The winning ticket sold at Khalil’s shop marks the third billion-dollar jackpot won in Southern California in the last year and is the second-largest prize in Powerball history. “First of all, I want to thank Frazier Park people for supporting a small business such as us,” Khalil said while he and his sons Chris and and Johnny wore bright California Lottery T-shirts. “Seventy-five years old and he refuses to take a day off; he’s up at like 5 a.m. every day,” Danny Chahayed said at the time about his father, known to many as “Papa Joe.” “No one deserves it as much as he does.” And in July, a $1.08-billion ticket was sold at a corner store in downtown Los Angeles owned by a family who immigrated to California from El Salvador.
