Maurice Hairston, a 76-year-old truck driver from Martinsville, won the $500,000 Virginia Lottery jackpot game, where players scratch a ticket, a Virginia Lottery news release said.

Hairston bought the winning ticket on Oct. 31 at Stop In at 1406 Greensboro Road in Martinsville. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for selling a $500,000 winner.

When Hairston walked in to the Virginia Lotterys customer service center in Roanoke, he had barely slept in two days. He handed over a top-prize-winning ticket in the $500,000 Jackpot game.
