The convenience store is located on San Antonio's eastside. at the corner of Loop 410 and highway 87. It's probably a store that I stop at when we go or leave San Antonio.
According to the article, Mayra Alejandra Rios, 37, was escorted to the Bexar County Jail on Wednesday and charged with lottery theft and lottery fraud The store owner learned that he was missing bundles of lottery tickets, which contain about 25-30 tickets each.
