Nebraska Lottery
William Freeman of Fremont won $230,000 playing Nebraska Pick 5 from the Nebraska Lottery.
Freeman purchased his winning ticket at Hy-Vee Food Store #1185 at 840 E 23rd St. in Fremont. The ticket contained five plays for the August 2 drawing, one of which matched that night’s winning numbers 10, 15, 21, 25 and 28.
He’s come close to winning big before, including a $5,000 winner on a Powerball ticket a few years back, but this is the first time Freeman’s hit a jackpot.
“I had to look back and forth between my ticket and the winning numbers about five times,” he said. “I called my son over to look and he did the same thing.”
Freeman said the win came at a great time because his house needs some repair work he’s been putting off.
“It’s nice to finally win something this big,” he said.
