CHARLESTON, W.Va. – A West Virginia Lottery player who purchased a Powerball ticket at Chaney’s Service Station in Chester matched five numbers and only missed the Powerball number from the Wednesday, January 13, drawing. That lucky ticket is worth $1 million.

In addition to the $1 million winner, five tickets worth $50,000 were also sold in West Virginia for the drawing by matching four numbers and the Powerball number. Those tickets were purchased at Par Mar #23 on Old East Grafton Rd. in Fairmont, the Speedway at Rt.33 and Scott Lane in Scott Depot, Sheetz #137 on Charles Town Rd in Kearneysville, Sheetz #458 on Courthouse Rd. in Princeton and the Loading Zone on Ridgecrest Rd. in Wheeling.
