$1 Million Lottery Prize Claimed, Ticket Was A Surprise

An Omaha couple have claimed their $1 million Powerball lottery prize.

The Nebraska Lottery says Guy and Marcella Stoller went to the lottery headquarters in Lincoln on Monday to turn over the ticket he’d bought at an Omaha Bag ‘N Save store near 90th and Maple streets.

The ticket matched the first five numbers but missed the Powerball number during the drawing Saturday night. The numbers were 4, 21, 28, 31, 44 and Powerball 10.

Marcella Stoller told lottery officials that her husband bought the ticket for her as a surprise.

Their plans for the prize are still up in the air, but they say part of it might be earmarked for their grandchildren’s education.
