CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A South Charleston man bought a Powerball ticket for his brother, an Army National Guard soldier recently deployed to Iraq, and it ended up being worth $50,000.
West Virginia Lottery officials said Friday that 20-year-old Dustin Cochran-Washington bought an “easy pick” ticket for his brother, Michael, at a local Go Mart for Wednesday’s drawing. Cochran-Washington spent an extra dollar to buy the PowerPlay multiplier.
The ticket matched four of the winning numbers and the Powerball to win $10,000, and because the multiplier was five, the prize jumped to $50,000. The numbers were 3-11-26-46-51 and the Powerball was 23.
Michael Cochran-Washington had asked his brother in an e-mail to buy him a ticket. Dustin did, and their parents have e-mailed the elder son with the good news.
