This is the most wild thing but like others have said - they make Billionaires here! I actually had…read moreno idea but a coworker back in Chicago alerted me to this gas station lotto hot spot. This week when the jackpot got up to 1.8 million dollars, lil ol' me trekked out to Altadena from Koreatown to see what magic this shop had. Listen, I'll kill the suspense right now and tell you here I am writing this Yelp review, working for Yelp and you're reading this...so a billionaire I am not. But I won $4! ...on a $20 ticket...BUT ANYWAYS~~~ It really was a cute and fun experience. I waited in the line, and a few news channels were there recording segments. Grandpa Joe himself was there with his family around him taking photos, as well. It was absolutely packed and felt like PowerBall Disneyland. I don't play the lotto much, but they say there's something magical at Joe's. Give it a go and don't forget me when you're diving into your riches like Scrooge McDuck~!

Went in for the first time to get my lucky Powerball tickets. Joe is the kindest man I've ever met!read more

The only problems I have…read morehad with this station are one time someone skim my debit card after I had pumped gas there, and drained the money out. Luckily it was restored after a fraud investigation. The other problem I have here is the pumps are difficult to use sometimes, and they tend to pop off while you're pumping your gas. The last time I went by there it was under construction in January 2026. Hopefully when the repairs are made, they won't have these problems anymore.

There's an ARCO gas station just across the street and gas here is $0.50+ more expensive than the ARCO gas station, but many visitors come here to pay homage and buy few Lottery tickets to see if lightning can strike twice. Unfortunately the restroom here is not available for public so I am knocking a star and the convenience store has a really small & limited selection (knocking another star.)

That was a bad enough experience that I'll not fill gas up here again like I do in the mornings or evenings before or after work. TBH the prices are pretty high compared to even chevron down the street. (Yes it was that serious). EDIT: Shibli, thank you for your response; however, as a business/franchise owner you should ensure that ALL platforms reflect the correct information especially if this has been unavailable for 5+ years -- you've had plenty of time to correct this information. As for the Chevron comment, this is my observation and was took my business there as of this morning. Thank you. These small things make the difference on whether someone will use your service moving forward.

The one thing I didn't like was the aggressive panhandlers asking for money while I was pumping gas. My head was on a swivel the entire time as I had three panhandlers approach me during my brief visit, asking for change. They may not mean harm, but one never knows. This is no fault of the gas station, but it did make my visit a negative experience for my family and me.

How come you go buy gas and don't have the basics to clean the windows? Why? When I confirmed it was on purpose, I decided to switch to another Arco that has even better prices than here. How embarrassing! What kind of customer service do they offer? I put gas in the tank and have to remember to go somewhere else just to clean the windows? It's crazy. I'm not going there anymore unless I'm running out of gas.
