Posted/updated on: January 5, 2012 at 4:29 pm
AUSTIN – Daingerfield resident Fredia Thomas claimed a $1 million Powerball prize Tuesday at the Texas Lottery claim center in Tyler. The prize was from the October 19 drawing. Thomas’s ticket matched all five numbers (16 – 26 – 35 – 52 – 58), but not the Powerball (2) drawn on October 19. Since Thomas added the Power Play option to her ticket for $1 extra, what would have been a $200,000 5-of-5 prize increased to a guaranteed $1 million. The winning ticket was purchased at the Rite Track #15 located at 1304 Linda Drive in Daingerfield. The claimant requested minimal publicity.
