HENRY COUNTY, Va. – For a moment, Paul Kennedy Jr. thought the $250,000 Money Mania ticket in his hand was worth $100. Then the Bassett man took a second look and realized he’d actually won $250,000.

The ticket was one of two he bought at The Connection Market & Grill, 299 River Road in Fieldale. The other ticket was a winner too. It won $25.
