WHITE HILLS, AZ (FOX5) -

The Last Stop Arizona bar and restaurant may not seem like much, but it has hundreds of Nevadans flocking to it for lottery tickets.

Richard Schock rode out on his Harley Davidson from Las Vegas with his buddies.

After a tough year, he figure now's a perfect time for his luck to change.

"Trying to hit the bucks, I've been off work for a year and this is what I need to do, trying to buy my wife a motor home," Schock told FOX5.

Schock isn't the only one who's lotto fever has him crossing into Arizona.

Stanley Willie drove from Henderson and figured he had to spend money to make money.

"I spent about 100 (dollars in tickets) today," Willie said.

If he wins, Willie says he'll share his $320 million.

"Try and do something for the church, homeless and a lot of other different people," said Willie.

Even though the winning ticket may not be sold at the Last Stop, someone is getting rich - the establishment's owners.

"Non-stop busy, the parking lot's been full the restaurant's been full… it's been great and definitely when it gets over 300 million is when it definitely explodes with business," said Lynda Yovanno Ducas, co-owner of the Last Stop.

Even if they don't win, both Willie and Schock say they had a fun time making the trip.

"They got great burgers and fries out here and you can do a little gun shooting," Willie said.

"Me and my buddies just jumped on our Harleys and said let's go take a ride out… let's go try our luck," Schock said.
