NITRO, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- On a long road trip sometimes it's nice to get out of the car and stretch. So when Tom Hall and his girlfriend were heading to South Carolina from Michigan, they took a detour to Tri-State Race Track.
Hall fed a $20 bill into a nickel slot, and the rest of this story will likely change his life.
He won $3.4 million.
That makes him on of the biggest jackpot winners in state lottery history.
Hall is 67 and from Detroit. He accepted his check Saturday night at the track.

I used to go to the track at least 2 times a month. Taking my Ky money to WV. Since the table games come in, you can't cash your points in for money, they raised the room compensation from 1500 points for a standard room to 25,000 points. I now save my money and take it to Indiana where they give you a free room. The chairs there are torn and ragged. It is embarassing to think they are taking in all the money and you have to sit on torn chairs. They took a hometown casino and turned in to a money grabbing machine. Don't get me wrong I won there also and enjoyed going. But not after they changed all the rules and perks without notigying anyone.
