James Marsden, of Dumfries, collected $1 million after taxes from the Virginia Lottery after playing the Bank-A-Million game.
More from a press release by the Virginia Lottery:
The Dumfries man matched the winning numbers in the August 22 drawing to win the top prize of $1 million after taxes. He bought his ticket at Minnieville Shell, located at 13890 Noblewood Plaza in Woodbridge.
The winning numbers were 9-18-23-31-33-40. The Bonus Ball number was 8, but he didn’t need it to win the top prize. He selected his numbers using important dates.
The top prizes in Bank a Million ($1 million, $500,000 and $250,000) are calculated so that winners actually receive the prize amount after federal and state tax withholdings. In addition, the store receives a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket.

As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
