$1 Billion Back to Nebraska
Did you know when you buy a Nebraska Lottery ticket, you're helping to build a better Nebraska? About 25 cents of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets goes back to our state. The transfer at the end of September 2024 will put us at over $1 billion back to Nebraska for good causes since 1993. Keep reading this issue of The Lottery Times to learn how these proceeds are used. And thank you for helping us Build a Better Nebraska!

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 6801 Wildcat 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.”
Here's Where the Money Goes
All 93 Nebraska counties have benefited! About 25¢ of every dollar spent on Nebraska Lottery tickets goes back to our state. Here’s how it breaks down:
Nebraska Environmental Trust (44.5%)
The Nebraska Environmental Trust provides grants to conserve, enhance, and restore the natural environments of Nebraska using lottery proceeds.
Education as directed by the Legislature (44.5%)
Specific uses of lottery proceeds for education vary. The majority of the education proceeds (58%) are used for the Nebraska Opportunity Grant, the State of Nebraska’s only need-based financial aid program for postsecondary students.
Nebraska State Fair (10%)
Lottery proceeds are used to upgrade and maintain facilities at the Nebraska State Fair. The most populous city within the county in which the fair is located must provide matching funds equal to 10% of the lottery proceeds transferred.
Problem Gambler’s Assistance ($500,000 plus 1% of remaining proceeds)
Lottery proceeds are used to operate the Problem Gambler’s Assistance Hotline at 833-BETOVER (238-6837), and to provide free problem gambling treatment for Nebraskans and their families.
