Worcester lottery agents accounted for nearly $149 million in lottery sales in 2018, the last time period for which public records are available from the Mass. State Lottery.
Forty-four stores in Worcester sold more than $1 million in lottery tickets, according the lottery.
The top seller was G & M grocery on Cambridge Street, which did nearly $2.5 million of lottery business.

New G & M Grocery on Cambridge St. sold nearly $2.5 million in lottery tickets in 2018, the most in the city of Worcester.
The source for the agent name and total sales was the Massachusetts State Lottery. Three notes:
First, the address were not part of sales-by-agent report provided by the Lottery, so addresses were found elsewhere.

Second, multiple stores have the same name and operate in multiple locations. Examples are Edgemere Mini Mart and Yankee Food Mart, so addresses were not possible.
Finally, some locations operated under multiple agent names during 2018. For instance, Honey Farms changed store numbers during the course of 2018, so each location had two entries. Where possible, we combined sales by the store's physical address.
The list (mobile readers can scroll side to side):

The Brattle Stop sold more than $2.3 million in lottery tickets in 2018, second most in Worcester.
The PNI Club on Millbury Street sold $414,000 worth of lottery in 2018.
Six of the 12 Honey Farms markets in Worcester, including this one at the Summit, sold more than $1 million in lottery tickets in 2018.
