Abingdon --

For the second time in a week, a person in Wythe County has won big bucks by playing the lottery.
This time, it was through the Mega Millions game.
The Virginia Lottery said Tony Brower of Austinville got a call from a clerk at the New River General Store, which Brower often goes to, after hearing someone who bought a Mega Millions ticket had matched five numbers, but not the Mega Ball, to win $250,000 in the May 21 drawing.
“It’s gotta be us,” Brower joked, and not thinking he had won. But when Tony checked his ticket, he was speechless.
Tony told the Lottery that he used numbers that he had been playing for some time. The winning numbers for the May 21 drawing were 15-20-23-26-30, and the Mega Ball was 17.
Last week, the lottery revealed that Wanda Garland hit one of the jackpot tickets in the “Maximum Millions” scratcher game and won one million dollars.
The Virginia Lottery was able to give Virginia schools $439.1 million dollars from its profits in 2009. That money added up to about 7 percent of the entire state budget for public education.
