Fort Worth resident claims Powerball prize worth more than $2 million after matching five numbers

Fort Worth, Texas – A Fort Worth resident has claimed a significant lottery prize after matching nearly all of the winning numbers in a recent Powerball drawing. The ticket holder secured a prize totaling $2,000,008 from the April 6 drawing, marking a notable win in one of the nation’s most widely played lottery games. Officials confirmed that the individual chose to remain anonymous.

The winning ticket was purchased at QuikTrip #1866, located at 3436 N. Tarrant Parkway in Fort Worth. Because the ticket qualified as a second-tier win, it matched all five of the white ball numbers drawn but did not match the red Powerball number. The numbers matched were 7, 24, 37, 42, and 57, while the Powerball number drawn was 5.

How the prize reached over 2 million dollars

The prize amount was boosted through the Power Play option, which multiplies non-jackpot winnings. In this case, the Power Play number drawn was 2, doubling the base prize and pushing the total to just over $2 million. The ticket holder also received an additional $8 win on the same ticket, adding a small extra bonus to the overall payout.

Officials noted that second-tier wins of this scale are relatively rare, especially when combined with the Power Play feature. While the jackpot was not won in this drawing, matching five numbers still represents a major achievement and results in a life-changing payout.

The retailer that sold the winning ticket may also benefit from the outcome. Under the Texas Lottery’s Retailer Bonus Program, QuikTrip #1866 could be eligible for a $10,000 bonus for selling the high-value ticket. This incentive is designed to reward retailers that play a role in distributing winning tickets.
