Omaha Kum & Go Customer Wins OCC™ Motorcycle from the Nebraska Lottery
Lincoln, NE – May 17, 2007 – At an event on May 14, the Nebraska Lottery presented Joel Sedlacek of Omaha with the first custom chopper top prize in the $2 Orange County Choppers™ Scratch game. Monday’s presentation took place at Kum & Go, 10025 S 168th Ave in Omaha. Sedlacek purchased his winning OCC™ ticket at Kum & Go in April. The ticket contained matching numbers for the corresponding motorcycle prize.
While claiming his prize, Sedlacek told Nebraska Lottery officials that he was “shocked” and “could not believe” that he had won the custom motorcycle, which features a design exclusive to Nebraska. “When I told my wife that I intended to win one of the Orange County Choppers™, she looked at me and laughed,” he said. “I definitely look forward to riding it. It will be a great experience.”
Two custom bikes, built by Orange County Choppers™ and signed by OCC™ founder Paul Teutul, Sr. and sons Paul Jr. and Mikey, are available as top prizes in the Orange County Choppers™ Scratch game. Sedlacek is the first person to claim a top prize in the game to date. The motorcycle top prize is valued at $87,857, which includes $1,300 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $4,393 and $21,964, respectively.
A third custom chopper will be given away as part of the Roads to Riches OCC™ Giveaway second chance contest. During the months of March, April, May and June, players who send in $10 worth of non-winning $2 Scratch tickets will be entered into the contest. The Teutuls and the Nebraska Lottery will give away the third bike on June 23, 2007 during the Power ‘Up Bike Rally at Nebraska State Fair Park in Lincoln.
Pictures of the custom bikes and more information about the Roads to Riches OCC™ Giveaway and Power ‘Up Bike Rally can be found on the Nebraska Lottery web site, nelottery.com.
