A Nebraska woman who won her second big lottery jackpot prize in five years can thank mistakenly printed tickets for her wins.

Lori Sailors of Lincoln won $220,000 from the Nebraska Lottery’s Nebraska Pick 5 game June 22, according to a release from the Nebraska Lottery.

Sailors bought her ticket at Casey’s General Store in Lincoln and bought three quick plays for the drawing, the Nebraska Lottery said.

But the ticket printed at the time was actually by mistake, she told the Nebraska Lottery. Still, she purchased it.

“I don’t let the mistakes go,” she told the Nebraska Lottery. “I don’t just let them sit there.”

One of the plays on the ticket matched all five of the “Nebraska Pick 5” numbers, winning her the jackpot.

And while this story would be unbelievable enough as it is, it is actually not the first time Sailors has won a huge lottery prize from a mistaken ticket.

In 2019, she won a $54,000 “Nebraska Pick 5” jackpot from a ticket that was also printed by mistake, the Nebraska Lottery said.

Sailors told the Nebraska Lottery she and husband Monte intend to use her winnings to pay off their daughter’s student loans and put the rest in the bank.

Millard North's Nebraska recruits show off skills against Lincoln East

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Millard North showed off its flashy Division I recruits in a 55-28 win against Lincoln East.

On the first drive of the game, 3-star recruit Pierce Mooberry showed why he has his stars with an 85-yard touchdown on Millard North’s first drive of the game.

The tight end/outside linebacker is committed to Nebraska.

Caden Vermaas, another 3-star Nebraska recruit, scored a 47-yard rushing touchdown.

Not only are these two guys explosive offensively, but they also play both sides of the ball.

Lincoln East finally scored after switching to a hurry-up offense. But it was too little too late.
