Bob’s Beer and Wine a Local Favorite – From Beverages to Big Wins

By Jennifer Russo

In Bellingham, one local package store has become a favorite place for both beer-lovers and lottery enthusiasts. Those looking to grab a six-pack of their favorite brew or a Mega Millions or Powerball “quick pick” come in hoping that they will be the next big winner. 

Bob’s Beer and Wine, which has been under the same ownership for over twenty-five years, has an excellent selection of local, domestic, and imported beers, wine, premium cigars, and a range of tobacco accessories. They have built up a reputation over the years for superior customer service and are on a first-name basis with many of their regular customers.

What they have really become known for recently though, is their good fortune. With over 160 books of scratchers available, as well as other lottery games, Bob’s has garnered some attention for selling multiple high-winning tickets. In October of 2024, one very lucky person won $4 Million on a ten-dollar scratch ticket purchased there. A few months later in January, the store sold two more big prizes of $100k each on scratch tickets. They have also sold two $1 Million tickets, two $100k tickets and had a $50,000 Powerball winner in the past. For Keno-aficionados, there is also a Keno screen with an area to grab a seat to play one game or many.

“We’re so happy for our winners and hope the luck keeps coming!” shop owner Mr. Patel said. “Maybe next time, it’ll be you!” 

Local news outlets have recognized Bob’s Beer & Wine as one of the state’s luckiest retailers, so it’s no surprise that word is spreading fast. Locals have started to take notice, with regulars and newcomers alike stopping in to purchase what they hope will be lucky tickets. Some customers have even made a tradition of stopping by for their weekly lottery tickets, hoping that the streak will continue.

“I wasn’t even planning to buy a ticket today, but after hearing about the streak I figured - why not?” said one excited customer. Others have even started referring to the shop as the ‘Lottery Gold Mine of Bellingham!’

Mr. Patel also mentioned that he has other businesses in this area of Massachusetts including both Blackstone Smoke Shop and DDM Cannabis in Blackstone and JDM Cannabis in Mendon, which also provide quality products and friendly service.

“We would like to thank all of our loyal customers for giving us their business. We appreciate it so much and look forward to seeing them again and again,” says Mr. Patel. 

Bob’s Beer and Wine is located at 220 Pulaski Blvd in Bellingham, MA and is open 7 days a Sun - Thurs (5am - 10pm) and Fri - Sat (5am - 11pm). They can be reached at (508) 883-4363.
