One Manassas man’s wallet is a bit heavier.
George Tinnell recently won $1 million through the Virginia Lottery’s Powerball game.
He purchased the ticket from Fairview Grocery in Manassas, which is receiving $10,000 from the lottery.
Tinnell, who works in landscaping, was with his neighbor when he learned that the first five numbers on his ticket matched with a recent drawing.
“I looked at my buddy and said, ‘I just won!’” he said.
The numbers that won are 3-7-15-27-69.
Tinnell intends to use his winnings to pay bills.
