No one should be upset because no one picked the correct numbers to win the large Powerball jackpot last night. It didn't stop people from walking up to the lottery outlets to buy a chance at a multi-million

Hino Motors Manufacturing USA is announcing this afternoon plans for a
$6 million expansion that would bring 20 more jobs to its Wood County
plant.
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, representatives of Sens. Jay
Rockefeller and Joe Manchin, both D-W.Va., and plant officials were in
Williamstown for the announcement this afternoon.
The plant has
about 140 full-time workers, and is expected to hire 20 more workers by
the end of this year, Tomblin said during this afternoon's announcement.
Half
of the investment will go to machinery improvements at the plant,
General Manager Steve Stalnaker said during the announcement. The
remaining $3 million will go toward supplies and intangibles.
The
announcement comes on the heels of Tomblin's 10-day trade mission to
Japan, which included private meetings with senior Hino officials, the
AP reported.
Hino has operated out of the 2,000-square-foot plant for the past five years. Workers there assemble about 35 trucks per day.
