The men entered the Sunoco Gas Station in the 8300 block of Colesville Road to use the lottery machine around 1:13 p.m., Wednesday, June 22, according to Montgomery County Police.
After a few minutes, the men requested assistance, which required the employee to leave the secured cashier area.
When the employee opened the door to the secured cashier area, the suspects forced their way in and displayed a handgun, police added.
