FYI - If you're wondering whether to use digits or spelled-out numbers in Dialogue sections, the answer is to spell them out.
Otherwise, general grammar rules apply to action/description sections. Happy writing, all!

I agree, Donnalyn Vojta. I try to always use spelled-out numbers in dialogue. It's easier for the reader to see spelled-out numbers than digits.

I spell it out so I have control how it is said.
“a million dollars” vs “one million dollars”.
