Davey Man Claims Sixth Truck$ & Buck$ Truck

Richard Welch of Davey is the sixth 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.

Welch purchased his winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket at U-Stop #12 at 6801Wildcat Dr. in Lincoln. He was presented with his new truck at U-Stop on Monday, August 26 by Nebraska Lottery officials.

Welch stopped at U-Stop and bought 10 Truck$ & Buck$ tickets and took them home to scratch off early one morning. That’s when he hit the top prize.

“I didn’t believe it,” he said. “I had to go in and wake up my wife so I could tell somebody.”

U-Stop is about a mile from his house and it’s become the only place he buys his tickets, Welch said. He’s a regular and most of the crew working at U-Stop knew who he was and were thrilled for him, he said.

“It feels good,” he said. “It’s a great feeling.”
