Woman claims $220,000 lottery jackpot after print error

A fortunate turn of events led to a Nebraska woman, Lori Sailors from Lincoln, winning an unexpected $220,000 jackpot from the Nebraska Lottery's Pick 5 drawing. What makes Sailors' win particularly remarkable is that the winning ticket was printed by mistake, SSP reported.

According to Sailors, she had decided to purchase an additional Pick 5 ticket at the Casey's store on N 48th Street in Lincoln. Little did she know, this fortuitous mishap would lead to a life-changing windfall. "I don't let the mistakes go," Sailors stated, emphasizing her proactive nature. "I don't just let them sit there."

Sailors' accidental ticket managed to secure her an impressive $220,000 prize in the lottery drawing held on June 22. Interestingly, this isn't her first stroke of lottery luck stemming from an unexpected print error. Back in June 2019, Sailors also won $54,000 from a Pick 5 drawing, and once again, the winning ticket had been inadvertently printed.

Now, with their recent stroke of good fortune, Lori Sailors and her husband, Monte, have devised plans for their newfound wealth. They intend to wisely allocate the winnings by paying off their daughter's student loan burden and bolstering their savings. The couple's responsible approach reveals their gratitude for the unexpected financial opportunity and their commitment to securing a stable future.
