Omaha Woman Wins $230,000 Playing Nebraska Pick 5

Sandra Walker of Omaha won $230,000 playing Nebraska Pick 5 from the Nebraska Lottery.

Walker purchased one ticket with five plays for the Pick 5 drawing on December 6, one of which matched that night’s winning numbers (09, 10, 16, 22, 25) and won the jackpot.

Walker purchased her winning ticket using the lotto.com courier service. The ticket was printed at Players Café, 619 N 114th Street in Omaha. Players Café is the retail partner of lotto.com.

When she found out she had a winning ticket she could hardly believe it.

“I am usually the unluckiest person,” Walker said. “But now I’ve got this and I got a promotion at my job!”

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 by $10,000 each drawing that is not won, are 1 in 658,008 while the overall odds of winning a prize in the game, which has drawings seven nights a week, are 1 in 9.2.
