Tyler lottery player wins $2 million after matching five numbers in Powerball drawing
Tyler, Texas – A lucky Tyler resident has stepped forward to claim a $2 million Powerball prize from the September 6 drawing. The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, purchased the second-tier winning ticket at Super Food Mart 60, located at 2431 ESE Loop 323 in Tyler.
The winning ticket featured player-chosen numbers and included the Power Play option, which doubled the standard $1 million Match Five prize to $2 million. According to officials, the ticket matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn — “11-23-44-61-62” — but missed the red Powerball number, which was “17.”
Power Play Option Boosts Winnings
What made this win even more valuable was the player’s decision to include the Power Play feature for an extra $1. This multiplier option does not affect the grand prize but significantly increases non-grand prize winnings. Specifically, a Power Play Match Five (5+0) win is always worth $2 million, no matter which multiplier is drawn.
Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:12 p.m. CT, offering players three chances each week to win life-changing amounts. While the Grand Prize begins at $20 million and continues to grow until someone matches all six numbers, secondary prizes like this one are still substantial — especially when boosted by Power Play.
