Experiencing The Good Life
July 9, 2009 at 11:47 am | In Scratch game | Leave a CommentSome days, it is nice to sit back and realize how wonderful it is to be a Nebraskan. Days like that happen to me all the time – like yesterday, as we started our statewide tour for Truck$ & Buck$, showing off the 2009 Toyota Tundra Blackshirt Edition truck (which happens to be the second-chance prize in the $2 Nebraska Lottery Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch ticket, in case you didn’t know).
As we cross the state on a month-long tour, we are passing some of the great places featured on the Nebraska 101 Scratch game. There are so many great sights to see and things to do all over Nebraska that many of us don’t take advantage of often enough.
That’s why I think Nebraska 101 is so great… not only do you get a chance to win great cash prizes in the game, you also have a chance to win a paid vacation of your choice, offering more reasons to be proud to be a Nebraskan.
If you haven’t tried the new $2 Nebraska 101 Scratch game yet, stop by your favorite Nebraska Lottery retailer and pick up a ticket, or a few. Test your knowledge of Nebraska trivia, scratch to win great prizes, and enjoy this great state of ours!

Starting June 15, Nebraska Lottery Lotto players will have the chance to receive a “Buy 1 Nebraska 101 Scratch ticket, Get 1 Free” coupon in the Nebraska 101 Lotto Cross Promotion.
During the period of June 15-28, every 101st Lotto purchase (any amount purchased at any retailer, statewide) will trigger a trailer coupon with a serialized bar code for a “Buy 1 Nebraska 101 Scratch ticket, Get 1 Free” purchase. The lottery terminal will sound and a trailer coupon will print following the purchased ticket each time the 101st purchase is triggered. This coupon will be redeemable through July 31, 2009.
The total cost, or amount of plays of the Lotto purchase, does not determine the coupon trigger – this is based solely on the number of Lotto transactions across Nebraska. The promotion will end at 1:00 a.m. (C.T.) on June 29, 2009.
