Omaha Man Claims Second Truck$ & Buck$ Truck
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.
