If you live in Nebraska and you’re feeling lucky, the state lottery offers plenty of ways to take a shot at life-changing money. From small daily draws to those massive nationwide jackpots, Nebraska players have no shortage of options to test their luck.
Big Wins Across the Country
Before we dive into the Nebraska results, let’s set the stage. The U.S. has seen some jaw-dropping lottery payouts over the years. One of the biggest came in December 2024, when a California player walked away with a staggering $1.27 billion Mega Millions jackpot. Imagine the kind of freedom that kind of money could buy. While Nebraska hasn’t seen a jackpot on that level yet, every ticket still holds the chance of a life-changing surprise.
