Astonished lotto fan Benjamin Kellogg has told how he has picked up a state-of-the-art USD 81,000 truck after his old motor was trashed in a crash.
Overjoyed Ben, from the city of Lincoln, Nebraska state, USA, had been playing the state’s special Truck$ & Buck$ game for a month before he struck it lucky.
Finally, one of his USD 2 [GBP 1.6] tickets bought at Ken’s Kegs store won him a Ford F-150 XLT 4×4 Crew Cab Flex Fuel truck.
He claimed he was buying scratchcards in different places and cashing them in, just to get another shot at the Ford F-150 XLT 4×4 Crew Cab Flex Fuel truck.
Ben said in a statement obtained by Newsflash from Nebraska Lottery after collecting the truck on 20th October: “I actually don’t have a car currently.
“I got in a car accident, so winning this is very exciting.”
