LISBON FALLS – Tina and Neal Buiniskas spent Thursday waiting.

Whenever someone walked through the doors of their Main Street convenience store, they wondered: Is that the winner? Is that the person with the $4.2-million Tri-State Megabucks ticket?

The morning passed. The busy lunch hour came and went. The evening ended like all others.

At 9 p.m., Tina and Neal Buiniskas closed Kitty Korner Store, and the identity of the big winner remained a mystery.

Lottery officials announced Wednesday that the only winning Tri-State Megabucks ticket worth $4.2 million was sold at the store.

Tina Buiniskas, whose family has owned Kitty Korner for 18 years, didn’t know that her store had sold the winning ticket until her husband read a story about it in the Sun Journal Thursday morning and ran through the house while screaming at her to get up.

As owners of the store, the couple will get $30,000 of the winnings.

Tina Buiniskas said Thursday night that she still hadn’t talked to her husband about how they would spend the money.

“We’ll probably call our accountant,” she said.

For now, she is most concerned about the big winner. She is hoping it is a regular, or at least someone who lives in town.

The lucky numbers on the ticket were: 2-9-20-23-25-37 with a bonus number of 22.

Stores in Lisbon have a history of being lucky. In 1989, a ticket worth $85,000 annuity was sold at the Lisbon Yankee Grocer. The year before that, someone won $600,000 in cash after buying a Megabucks ticket at the Xtra Mart.
