Default Stripping text before a number (alpha or numeric)

I have a column that's supposed to be an address, but somehow got the
company name mixed in at the beginning:

123 Main Street
One Park Place
Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One

I can use the formula
=RIGHT(A1,(LEN(A1)-((MIN(SEARCH({0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9},A1&"0123456789" )-1)))))
for stripping the text before an actual number

Acme Company, Inc. 456 Easy Street
to
456 Easy Street

BUT - I'm not sure how to strip before a text representation of a
number (one, two, three, etc)

Alpha-Omega Dry Cleaning Four-Twenty Highway One
to
Four-Twenty Highway One


Any suggestions???
