Ma & Pa's a 'Modern Marvel'

History Channel films segment on "lucky" Fond du Lac c-store
FOND DU LAC, Wis. -- A Fond du Lac, Wis., convenience store known for hitting the jackpot will be featured on The History Channel, reported WBAY-TV. The History Channel's Modern Marvels program has filmed a segment at Ma & Pa's. The location is well known for having sold a number of winning lottery tickets worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

The store's owner told the news outlet that the show contacted him a couple weeks ago for an episode about the convenience store industry.

"The TLC channel was here before too so we're kind of used to having cameras [image-nocss] here quite a bit," Shelly Bach, a Ma & Pa's employee, told WBAY. "It does get to be a lot of fun for our customers and it's great for the city and great for the store."

The air date has yet to be announced, said the report.
