HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - We have a winner!
Michael Whyrick of Hastings won $20,000 playing Lotto America® from the Nebraska Lottery.
Whyrick purchased his winning Lotto America ticket at Coach’s Corner, located 3212 Osborne Drive East in Hastings.
The five-play quick pick ticket contained one play that matched all five red ball numbers (01, 06, 26, 41, 51) but not the Star Ball number from the June 4 drawing for $20,000.
While claiming this prize on June 5, Whyrick told Nebraska Lottery officials that his wife heard a $20,000 winning ticket was sold at Coach’s Corner, and she thought there was a possibility it was their ticket. This suspicion was confirmed when Michael checked his ticket at the store and the clerk said, “Oh you’re the one.”
The couple then headed to Lottery Headquarter
