Six numbers that came to man in a dream score him a big prize in Virginia lottery
Sometimes getting a good night’s sleep doesn’t just benefit the body and mind. In Alonzo Coleman’s case, it was also good for his wallet.
The Virginia man took home a $250,000 lottery prize, all thanks to six numbers he said came to him in a dream, lottery officials said.
“It was hard to believe!” the Henrico resident told lottery officials. “It still hasn’t hit me yet!”
Coleman bought his lucky Bank A Million ticket from the Glenside Corner Mart in Henrico, according to lottery officials. He picked the six, oddly-sequenced numbers he saw in his dream: 13-14-15-16-17-18. The bonus ball was 19, officials said.
The retiree split his $2 wager four ways when he bought the ticket, according to lottery officials. One of the four sets brought in the giant $250,000 win in the June 11 drawing with the ”Play Your Way” feature, lottery officials said.
Bank A Million’s top prizes of $1 million, $500,000 and $250,000 are calculated so winners take home the entire winning amount after taxes, according to the Virginia Lottery.
Henrico County is about 10 miles southeast of Richmond.
