Lincoln, NE – Nick Schwager of Petersburg is the seventh winner of a 2024 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew truck in the 29th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game.
Schwager purchased his winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket at Cedar’s Rapid Stop at 615 S 2nd St. in Cedar Rapids. He was presented with his new truck on Thursday, January 2 by Nebraska Lottery officials.
Schwager said he’d stopped off at Cedar’s Rapid Stop after work one night and picked up a few Truck$ & Buck$ tickets.
He didn’t get a chance to scratch them off until the following evening, but when he did, he was shocked.
“I didn’t believe it,” Schwager said. “This has to be a glitch, I don’t think it’s possible.”
