Eugene Sempek Sr. of Omaha is the second winner of a 2015 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew Flex Fuel truck in the 20th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game.

Sempek recently purchased his winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket at No Frills Supermarket, 4240 South 50th Street in Omaha. Scratching the ticket, he revealed matching numbers in Game 3 for the corresponding truck prize.

Nebraska Lottery officials presented Sempek with his prize on Wednesday, April 1 at No Frills. “I’ve been playing Truck$ & Buck$ since the beginning, and this is the biggest thing I’ve won,” said Sempek. He learned he had won after scratching off the ticket at home. “I was in the other room and I screamed,” said Sempek. “My wife asked what was wrong, and I told her, ‘We’ve won a truck!’” In a case of perfect timing, the couple was considering replacing their current vehicle – a 2007 Ford F-150 – when Sempek purchased his winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket.

The 20th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s popular Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game features the 2015 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew Flex Fuel truck as its top prize. Players have the opportunity to win one of three Ford F-150 trucks as well as $857,180 in cash and Ethanol-enriched fuel prizes. The truck prize is valued at $52,000, which includes $1,813 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $2,600 and $13,000, respectively. The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ & Buck$ are 1 in 260,000, while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.14.
