Nebraska – Samuel Bellanti of Gretna won a total of $22,000 playing 2by2 from the Nebraska Lottery.

Bellanti purchased his winning ticket at Fast Mart, 6835 North 27th Street in Lincoln. The five-play ticket contained one play with the winning Red ball numbers (03, 23) and White ball numbers (17, 18) from the May 10 drawing for $22,000.

Bellanti wasted no time claiming his prize, arriving at Nebraska Lottery headquarters the day after the drawing. "I always said I was going to win someday," said Bellanti.
