Lincoln, NE – Marilyn Miller of Ansley is the fifth winner of a 2024 Ford F-150 XLT 4×4 SuperCrew truck in the 29th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ & Buck$ scratch-off game.
Miller purchased her winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket at Casey’s #2068, 609 Plum Creek Parkway in Lexington. Her new truck was presented to her by Nebraska Lottery employees at Casey’s on Thursday, August 8.
Miller said she and her husband, Duane, were driving home from an auction in Grand Island and decided to stop in Lexington for dinner. They decided to make a quick detour to Casey’s to fill up their car with gas, and she went in briefly to cash in some scratch-off tickets that had won.
“I won $20,” she said. “So I took that $20 and spent $10 on five Truck$ & Buck$ tickets.”
She ended up winning the pickup truck with one of those tickets. The next day she called the Nebraska Lottery and about a week later her truck was delivered to her in Lexington.
“I’m still speechless, I guess,” she said. “It’s just great that I won.”
“It doesn’t happen once in a lifetime,” Duane added. “It probably only happens once in ten lifetimes.”
