Lincoln Man Wins $6,000 Playing Play Is Good

Adam Eickmeier of Lincoln won $6,000 playing Play Is Good from the Nebraska Lottery.   

Eickmeier received the winning ticket during the Nebraska Lottery’s second Tuck$ & Buck$ presentation at U-Stop, 3280 Superior Street in Lincoln. The ticket was one of 25 that Eickmeier had won in the Nebraska Lottery’s Prize Cube during the event.

When claiming his prize February 21, Eickmeier told Lottery officials that he had taken the afternoon off work and was enjoying the unseasonably warm weather when he learned that the Nebraska Lottery was having an event at the U-Stop location. He loaded up his dog and drove across town from his home to try his luck. “I had never done the Cash Cube and I came out with 25 tickets,” he said. “When it shut off, they came down and I grabbed them.”

Eickmeier said that the prize money will help fund the kitchen remodel he is working on with his wife.

As a $1 Scratch game from the Nebraska Lottery, Play Is Good offers players the chance to win cash prizes from $1 to $6,000. The odds of winning $6,000 playing Play Is Good are 1 in 24,000 while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.52.
