Lottery warning to check tickets after $390,000 ‘lucky’ prize went unclaimed – it was bought at a gas station

A LOTTERY player has won $390,000 and may not know it yet.

The Nebraska Lottery is warning players to check their tickets after a big prize went unclaimed.

Someone won the Lucky for Life prize on July 21st.

It’s not the game’s top prize, but it totals $25,000 per year for life, or $390,000 as a lump sum.

It came from the Oasis Travel Center, a gas station in North Platte.

This is in the southwest of the state.

The numbers to look for are 02, 05, 20, 36, 39 and 07.

The player has until January 17, 2025 to make a complaint.

HOW TO PLAY

Lucky for Life is a national draw game, similar to Powerball or Mega Millions.

The difference is in the prize levels.

To play, you choose five numbers between 1 and 48 and one number between 1 and 18.

You can win big if your numbers are drawn.

The top prize is $1,000 a day for life.

As a lump sum, that’s $5,750,000.

Each piece costs $2.
