Not enough traffic to support selling lottery tickets in the size station you are aiming for.

By the 70s everything was being sold through a machine, soda, cigarettes, snacks, so no candy on the counter. If I had any at my station the employees would have them gone in a day.

If I remember correctly some stations at that time started selling ice.

Many of these stations are still around, just being used for something else now. You need to drive around looking for them, they are all over the place. If they are being used to repair cars they probably have not changed the layout of the counter area.
