A routine grocery run in Peoria just turned into a seven-figure mystery. A $1 million ticket for the Arizona Lottery game The Pick was sold at the Fry's grocery near 75th Avenue and Cactus Road in Peoria, FOX 10 Phoenix reported on March 24. The station posted a brief alert urging players to check their numbers after the drawing, and the news quickly became checkout-line chatter at the busy northwest Valley store.
According to the report, the ticket matched the $1,000,000 prize level in The Pick drawing and was purchased at the Fry's near 75th Avenue and Cactus Road. The station listed the retailer but did not share any identifying details about a winner or claim.
Where the ticket was sold
The winning ticket was sold at the Fry's located at 7455 W. Cactus Road, at the intersection with 75th Avenue in Peoria, the address shown in public business directories. That location also appears on state vendor and business listings, including documents from the Arizona Department of Health Services.
How to check and claim
Arizona Lottery claim instructions state that draw-game prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw date. Prizes of $600 or more require a completed Winner Claim Form along with valid identification. For full details on timelines, how to submit a claim and where to go in person, see the Arizona Lottery.
Fry's stores have sold big winners before
This is not the first time a Fry's has been home to a big Arizona win. In April 2024, a Fry's in Marana sold an $11.9 million The Pick jackpot ticket, according to FOX 10 Phoenix. For a few lucky shoppers, the supermarket aisle occasionally doubles as a path to life-changing money.
Anyone who bought a The Pick ticket for the drawing in question is being urged to pull out their slip and check the numbers. If they match, the next stop is the Lottery's claim process. This story will be updated if the Arizona Lottery or retailers release additional details about a winner or the claim.
