No store on this list — winning or not — has better odds than any other. Odds are fixed by the rules of each game (how many numbers you pick, how many balls are in the drum) and are identical no matter which of Maine's licensed retailers actually prints your ticket. A store showing up here with a big prize history simply means it sold a lot of tickets, sold one at the right moment, or both — sales volume, not location, is what correlates with a store eventually selling a winner. If you're comparing two nearby options, convenience (hours, parking, how busy the line is) is a far more useful factor than any "lucky store" reputation.
If a ticket from this list pays off, know before you claim: Maine withholds 5% in state tax from lottery winnings. Federal withholding adds another 24% on prizes over $5,000. As for privacy, winner identity is public record in Maine: No statutory anonymity; winner identity is public record. Small prizes can usually be cashed right at the retailer; larger ones require a trip to an official Maine Lottery claim center with a signed ticket and photo ID.
