In front of a large crowd, 10 semifinalists in the Truck$ & Buck$ Second-Chance Giveaway gathered on June 6 at Haymarket Park in Lincoln to find out who would drive away with a 2015 Ford F-150 Flex Fuel truck.

After a series of elimination rounds, two finalists remained in the giveaway drawing. Steven Wilson of Lincoln and Les Boroff, a proxy contestant representing Ronald Boroff of Fremont, took turns selecting velvet pouches containing a key fob. Only one of the six fobs belonged to the Ford F-150. Wilson drew the first fob and pressed the panic button. With a cheer from the crowd the truck’s horn sounded, confirming that Wilson was the Grand Prize winner.

Wilson, the Grand Prize winner, received a 2015 Ford F-150 Flex Fuel truck, and a $100 gift card from the Nebraska Ethanol Board and Nebraska Corn Board. The truck prize includes a cash payment to the winner for costs associated with ownership, and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery.

The remaining semifinalists won the following cash prizes:

• Ronald Boroff, Fremont - $3,000
• Melissa Fattig, Kearney - $2,000
• Renee Fry, Hastings - $1,000
