Nebraska Man Hits $230,000 NE Pick 5 Jackpot After Previous Powerball Win
A Stroke of Luck
William Freeman of Fremont, Nebraska, has proven that persistence pays off. After years of trying his luck, including a previous $5,000 Powerball win, Freeman hit the jackpot in the Nebraska Pick 5 draw game. The winning numbers—10, 15, 21, 25, and 28—mirrored those printed on his ticket. It was a moment of disbelief and joy for Freeman and his son, who both had to double-check the numbers.
The Hy-Vee Food Store Connection
Freeman’s lucky streak began at the Hy-Vee Food Store on East 23rd Street in Fremont. There, he purchased a Nebraska Pick 5 ticket containing five plays for the drawing on August 2. Little did he know that this ticket would change his life.
From Powerball to Pick 5
This isn’t Freeman’s first win. A few years ago, he snagged a $5,000 Powerball prize. However, the Nebraska Pick 5 jackpot of $230,000 is his first major win. “It’s nice to finally win something big,” Freeman remarked.
Home Repairs and Dreams
The timing couldn’t be better for Freeman. With repairs stacking up in his house, this windfall provides the means to take care of long-delayed work. Perhaps the dream family home he’s always wanted is now within reach.
