An Arnoldsburg man has won $1 million with the Powerball lottery.

The WV Lottery says the big winner is Ricky Hall.

Hall, a construction worker, purchased his lucky ticket at Duke Oil in Ripley and played his own numbers for last Saturday's Powerball draw and matched five numbers.

He was joined at a press conference by his wife Patty and their three children.

"It will help get our kids through college and make life a little easier," Hall said.

Hall's wife, Patty, said that her husband travelled a lot for work and has been a good provider for the family, but this money will help them pay bills and maybe take a long awaited vacation.
