Tyler Lucas did not reach the finale by luck. Week after week, he survived physical tasks and mental tests. When the final moment came, it all came down to one decision. He chose the right suitcase. That single move earned him $5.1 million.
The prize money this season was massive. Here is how the top 10 contestants finished:
Player 167 – $5,100,000
Player 148 – $1,800,000
Player 195 – $1,193,000
Player 126 – $1,000,000
Player 152 – $510,000
Player 118 – $342,264
Player 38 – $160,057
Player 173 – $137,547
Player 24 – $100,000
Player 60 – $100,000
So even those who did not win still walked away with life-changing amounts. Before Beast Games Season 2, Tyler Lucas had already built an impressive background.
He graduated from Bellefonte Area School District in 2011. He later served as a United States Air Force pilot. He also played as a wide receiver at Penn State. Those experiences shaped his calm mindset and discipline under pressure.
At the end of the finale, MrBeast said, “Tyler will walk away from Beast Games Season 2 with $5.1 million, one of the largest cash prizes in television history. But no one is walking away empty-handed.
This season, there were over $11 million in prizes. Multiple people literally became millionaires. And every single player who competed was given $1,000 for playing. We pushed 200 players to their limits, seeing how far they’d go, to leave their mark in Beast Games history.”
In related news, MrBeast also shared that he is “borderline blind” in his right eye and often has to squint to see clearly. Season 2 may be over, but the impact of that $5.1 million decision will be remembered for a long time.
