A grocery store in Washington that sold the winning Powerball jackpot ticket of $754.6 million donated its take to charity.
When the Fred Meyer store in Auburn was rewarded with a $50,000 check from the lottery commission for selling the winning ticket last week, they turned around and donated it all to the Auburn Food Bank.
“It’s always good to give back and today everyone wins”, said Todd Kammeyer, Fred Meyer president. “In addition to this donation, Fred Meyer is giving $10,000 to the store for our associates to celebrate.”
According to the food bank, the donation will provide about 66,000 meals.
