The winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased the $10 ticket at the Hy-Vee grocery store located at 2002 North 132nd Street in Omaha. He scratched off the ticket in his car and was shocked to discover the winning numbers. “I couldn’t believe it,” said the man. “I thought I was dreaming. I had to drive around for a while just to process it.” The man said he plans to use the winnings to pay off his mortgage and invest in his future. He also plans to donate a portion of his winnings to charity. “This is life-changing money,” said the man. “I’m so grateful for the opportunity to win.” The Nebraska Lottery’s $1 million scratch-off game offers players the chance to win instant prizes ranging from $1 to $1 million. The game’s overall odds of winning are 1 in 3.5. The Omaha man’s win is the latest in a series of big lottery wins in Nebraska. In the past year, several Nebraskans have won multi-million dollar prizes, including a Lincoln man who won $2.5 million from a Mega Millions ticket and a Scottsbluff woman who won $1.5 million from a Powerball ticket. Nebraska Lottery officials encourage players to play responsibly and to know their limits. For more information on responsible gambling, visit the Nebraska Lottery website.
