Winning Bank a Million ticket worth $1 million sold in Marion still unclaimed after January 17 drawing
Marion, Virginia – A lucky Virginia Lottery player has a $1 million ticket—and may not even know it yet. The winning Bank a Million ticket was sold for the Saturday, January 17 drawing, and so far, no one has stepped forward to claim the life-changing prize.
Winning Ticket Purchased at Cargo Oil in Marion
The ticket was bought at Cargo Oil, located at 758 North Main Street in Marion. It matched all six main numbers drawn—8, 15, 20, 23, 27, and 37. The Bonus Ball number was 19. The winning ticket matched all six of the first numbers exactly, which means the Bonus Ball number wasn’t needed to win.
What makes Bank a Million unique is that its top prizes are already taxed, meaning the winner will take home exactly $1 million after federal and state withholdings.
The odds of winning the top prize in Bank a Million are 1 in 3.8 million, while the odds of winning any prize are 1 in 18.3. The game is played only in Virginia, with drawings held Wednesdays and Saturdays at 11 p.m.
Winner Urged to Sign the Ticket and Contact the Lottery
The Virginia Lottery is reminding whoever holds the ticket that they have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prize. “The ticket matched six numbers in the Virginia Lottery’s Bank a Million game. The top prize in that game is calculated to be $1 million for the winner after taxes!”
Before doing anything else, the Lottery strongly encourages the winner to sign the back of the ticket immediately to establish ownership. When ready, the winner should contact the Virginia Lottery directly to begin the prize claim process.
While the winner remains a mystery, one thing is already confirmed—Cargo Oil will receive a $10,000 bonus from the Virginia Lottery just for selling the lucky ticket.
With a million dollars waiting, the clock is ticking. Check your tickets. You might just be Virginia’s next big winner.
