Tyler Resident Claims $2 Million Powerball Prize

AUSTIN – A Tyler resident claimed a second-tier Powerball prize worth $2 million for the drawing held last Oct. 18. According to a news release, the ticket was purchased at Polk 11 in Nacogdoches. The claimant elected to remain anonymous. The Quick Pick ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn (30-49-54-66-69), but not the red Powerball number (8). Powerball jackpots start at $40 million and roll until the jackpot is won. Players win the jackpot by matching five numbers from a field of 69 numbers and one Powerball number from a field of 26 numbers. Drawings occur each Wednesday and Saturday at 10:12 p.m. CT.
