Nebraska Lottery June Update
FIRST FORD F-150 CLAIMED BY LINCOLN MAN
Kenneth Northup of
Lincoln is the first winner of a 2010
Ford F-150 XLT Super Crew 4x4 Flex Fuel truck in the 15th edition
of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game.
Northup purchased his winning Truck$ &
Buck$ ticket at Shell Food Mart, 6006 Havelock Avenue in Lincoln.
Scratching the ticket, he revealed matching numbers in Game 3 for the
corresponding truck prize.
There are four Ford F-150 trucks available in Truck$
& Buck$. Northup is the first person to claim a top prize truck to
date.
Nebraska Lottery officials presented Northup with his
prize on Friday, May 21, at Shell Food Mart. Northup stated that he
received his winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket while cashing in another
winning Scratch ticket. "I had a $3 winner and I wanted to buy
some Emerald Green 7's tickets, but they didn't have any
more at the store," said Northup. The clerk then
suggested that he purchase a Truck$ & Buck$ ticket instead. Northup
stated that he was "very happy" to win the truck prize.
The truck prize is valued at $50,000, which includes
$1,465 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal
withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $2,500 and $12,500,
respectively. The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ & Buck$
are 1 in 180,000, while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in
3.53.
