Omaha Man Claims Sixth Truck$ & Buck$ Truck
Rod Blecha of Omaha is the sixth winner of a 2025 Ford F-150 XLT truck in the 30th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s $2 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game.
Blecha purchased the winning Truck$ & Buck$ ticket at Hy-Vee Food Store #9 at 17810 Welch Plaza in Omaha. He was presented with his new truck on Friday, November 7 by Nebraska Lottery officials.
Blecha and his wife Debbie have a tradition when it comes to playing Truck$ & Buck$.
“I buy the tickets and she scratches them off,” he said.
The Blechas have been looking for a new truck and this one is just about perfect, Rod said.
The 30th edition of the Nebraska Lottery’s popular $2 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch game features the 2025 Ford F-150 XLT as its top prize. Players have the opportunity to win one of eight Ford F-150 trucks as well as thousands of cash prizes. The truck prize is valued at $79,000, which includes $1,103 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $3,950 and $18,960, respectively. The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ & Buck$ are 1 in 336,000, while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.69.
Nebraska Lottery tickets can help you spread instant joy this holiday season. But when you're making up your gift list, only give tickets to people who are old enough to play.
By law, Nebraska Lottery tickets may only be purchased and redeemed by persons who are 19 years or older.
“We always encourage players to play responsibly, and we ask them to give responsibly as well,” said Lottery Director Brian Rockey. “Nebraska Lottery tickets are colorful, fun, and a great gift idea, but they should only be given to recipients who are at least 19 years of age.”
The Nebraska Lottery has joined lotteries and community organizations around the world for the 2025 Gift Responsibly Campaign organized by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and supported by the North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries (NASPL). During the holidays the Nebraska Lottery will work to promote awareness about the risks of underage lottery play using social media and in-store signage.
Rockey noted that each ticket, whether Scratch or Lotto, carries the minimum age (19) reminder, and the same message appears on in-store signage. “No matter how clever or attractive a game may be, it should always be played in moderation and only be given to individuals who are of legal age to play,” said Rockey.
