All convenience stores have surveillance video these days, and they know the exact time the ticket was purchased. Just have to look at the tape for that timestamp.

True, but they'd be foolish to release the name because then the winner could own the convenience store (and chain) after all the lawsuits are said and done.

Store only has four employees and most customers are local.

The longest that type of store will save tapes is about 20 days. If that. I’m afraid the winner is “in the wind” as they say. Good for them.

Yep. Thats how they catch the ones who steal winnings tickets from rightful owners/purchasers. They just caught that idiot roommate in California who stole is roommates $10 million ticket using store cameras.
