Bellanti wasted no time claiming his prize, arriving at Nebraska Lottery headquarters the day after the drawing. “I always said I was going to win someday,” said Bellanti. “When I checked the ticket this morning, I couldn’t believe it.” He plans to buy Minnesota Vikings season tickets using his winnings, then save the rest for the future.
