(Clive, IA) — The top-selling retail outlet for the Iowa Lottery the last several years has been a Hy-Vee store in Cedar Rapids — but this fiscal year that ended in June it was a convenience store in Marshalltown. Lottery spokeswoman Mary Neubauer says the Jiffy Mart location in Marshalltown had one-point-three million dollars in sales. Neubauer says more convenience stores were in the top ten seller list this year as people seemed to want businesses where they could go in and go out quickly during the pandemic. The Iowa Lottery saw a record of nearly 453 million dollars in sales for the fiscal year.
