He won $1 million in Wednesday's Powerball drawing, matching five numbers. You'll never believe what Brumfield did when he realized he won. He said he went home and took a nap. His wife had to wake him up to see if he even looked at the numbers on his ticket. "She said, 'Did you check your numbers?' And I said, 'Yeah.' And she said, 'Well, they say someone around here has won.' I said, 'Yeah, me.' She went to her knees," Brumfield said. The ticket was purchased at the the Little General store on McClellan Highway in Harts. Lottery officials said the store will receive $10,000 for selling the winning ticket. Brumfield is a contractor with D&M Construction. Lottery players have been lucky in West Virginia this year, with six of them becoming new millionaires in 2012.
