Crete Man Claims Seventh Truck$ & Buck$ Truck
Korbyn Kemerling of Crete is the seventh winner of a 2025 Ford F-150 XLT truck in the 30th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game.
Kemerling purchased his winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket at Casey’s #1575 at 301 W 13th Street in Crete. He was presented with his new truck at Casey’s on January 26 by Nebraska Lottery officials.
This was Kemerling’s first ever Nebraska Lottery win, he said, and that’s for good reason.
Players are required to be 19 years or older to purchase Nebraska Lottery tickets and Kemerling celebrated his 19th birthday less than two months before his big win.
“I’ve never won anything before,” he said. “This is my first win. I’m starting strong.”
Kemerling won the seventh Ford F-150 of the current version of Truck$ & Buck$. Only one pickup remains unclaimed.

The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ & Buck$ are 1 in 336,000, while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.69.
