CHANTILLY, VA — A Virginia Lottery ticket worth $1 million was sold at Giant Food, 25050 South Riding Plaza in Chantilly, for the Saturday, April 11, Bank a Million drawing. The ticket matched six numbers in the game to win the top prize, according to the Virginia Lottery.

The winning numbers were 7-9-10-13-14-28, and the Bonus Ball number was 40. The Virginia Lottery reported that the winning ticket matched all six of the first numbers exactly, so the Bonus Ball number was not needed to win.
