Karla Knott of Broken Bow won $90,000 playing Nebraska Pick 5 from the Nebraska Lottery.

Knott purchased her ticket at Gary’s Super Foods at 1110 S B St. in Broken Bow. The ticket contained a single quick pick play for the March 11 drawing and matched the winning numbers 03, 11, 16, 29, 37.

“I didn’t really believe it,” Knott said. “I still can’t believe it.”

Nebraska Pick 5 is Nebraska's unique Lottery game: all the proceeds from Nebraska Pick 5 stay in Nebraska, and all the winning tickets are sold in Nebraska at Nebraska Lottery Lotto game retailers. The odds of winning the Nebraska Pick 5 jackpot, which starts at $50,000 and grows each drawing that it is not won, are 1 in 501,942. The overall odds of winning any Nebraska Pick 5 prize which has drawings seven nights a week, are 1 in 8.

During the month of March, the Nebraska Pick 5 jackpot will increase by $10,000 each time it is not won, up from $4,000, so the jackpot will grow faster than before. See nelottery.com for details.
