MARCH 24, 2024 (NORTH PLATTE, NEB.)&nbsp;&nbsp;— The Nebraska Department of Transportation and the Nebraska State Patrol are urging travelers to be prepared for dangerous winter driving conditions expected over the next few days. A winter storm will impact much of the state beginning tonight.

The National Weather Service is projecting several inches of snow across western and central Nebraska, with strong winds and bitterly cold temperatures. A Blizzard Warning has been issued for an area ranging from southwest to northcentral Nebraska, effective from 7:00 p.m. CT today through 1:00 a.m. CT Tuesday.

“This winter storm will create dangerous driving conditions across a large portion of our state,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Our troopers and dispatchers are prepared to help, but before you attempt to travel during this storm, please consider whether travel is absolutely necessary.”

Do not attempt to travel in blizzard conditions. Travel may be difficult to impossible. Should you become stranded, it may be impossible for help to reach you until the blizzard ends.

If travel is necessary, check the Nebraska 511 system for valuable information regarding travel across the state. Motorists can view live cameras to assess conditions, view a map of road conditions throughout the state, check live radar to see the storm’s current location, view the locations of NDOT plows on the road, and access many more features.

“NDOT’s snowplow crews will be out as the conditions allow it but the public are reminded to slow down, wear your seat belt and never pass a plow if you choose to travel,” said NDOT Director Vicki Kramer.&nbsp;

NDOT will treat roads as appropriate, taking into consideration the different variables that could be present in the varying types of precipitation predicted in this storm.

If any motorists become stranded, call the NSP Highway Helpline at *55 or 800-525-5555 to speak directly with an NSP dispatcher who can send help.

NSP and NDOT offer these tips for safe winter travel:

Motorists are reminded to make sure everyone in their vehicle wears a seat belt and children are in a car safety seat. Do not use cruise control in wet or snowy weather and keep a full gas tank.

The Hot Sheets: March 23rd, 2024

Lincoln, NE – March 22, 2024 – One Ford F-150 truck remains in the Nebraska Lottery’s 2023 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game. The game has closed, and holders of winning tickets have until September 18, 2024, to claim prizes.

Introduced in May 2023, the 28th edition of the $2 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game featured the 2023 Ford F-150 XLT 4x4 SuperCrew Flex Fuel truck as its top prize, as well as cash and Ethanol-enriched fuel prizes. The game has sold out and there is no ticket inventory left.

Nebraska Lottery Scratch tickets are valid for 180 days after the game closing date. The 2023 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch game began the closing process on March 22. Tickets from the game must be redeemed by September 18, 2024.

Players with Truck$ &amp; Buck$ Scratch tickets are encouraged to check them using the Nebraska Lottery mobile app, visiting a lottery retailer, or contacting the Nebraska Lottery at 402-471-6100. If the truck winning ticket expires, then the truck prize will be used in a future Nebraska Lottery promotion.

To date, seven Ford F-150 trucks have been claimed by Nebraska Lottery players in the 2023 Truck$ &amp; Buck$ game. Lucas Swarthout of North Platte claimed the seventh truck on February 12, 2024.

The truck prize is valued at $81,000, which includes $1,160 for costs associated with ownership and state and federal withholding paid by the Nebraska Lottery of $4,050 and $19,400, respectively. The odds of winning the top prize in Truck$ &amp; Buck$ are 1 in 336,000, while the overall odds of winning any prize are 1 in 3.69.

The mission of the Nebraska Lottery is to generate proceeds for good causes while providing quality entertainment options to Nebraskans. Over $965 million has been raised for the Nebraska Lottery’s beneficiary funds since the Lottery began in 1993. All 93 counties in Nebraska have benefited from projects funded with these Nebraska Lottery proceeds.

One Truck Remains in 2023 Truck$ & Buck$ Scratch Game

Lincoln, NE&nbsp; – Two big jackpots are up for grabs in the next Mega Millions® and Powerball® drawings. Because of these high jackpots, the Nebraska Lottery reminds customers to set spending and time limits.

A string of drawings without a jackpot winner has grown the estimated Mega Millions jackpot to its highest level since August 2023. There have been 29 consecutive drawings since December 12 without a jackpot winner. This run has grown the estimated jackpot for the Friday, March 22 drawing to $977 million or $461 million with the cash option selected. This is the 6th largest jackpot in Mega Millions history.

Powerball has also seen its jackpot grow over the last few months. There have been 34 drawings since January 3 without a jackpot winner. The estimated jackpot for the Saturday, March 23 drawing is $750 million or $357.3 million with the cash option selected.

The dual jackpot runs have produced some large Nebraska winners.

The largest Mega Millions jackpot on record occurred in August 2023 when one winner in Florida won a $1.602 billion jackpot. The largest Powerball jackpot on record occurred in November 2022 when one winner in California won a $2.040 billion jackpot.

Because of the high jackpots, the Nebraska Lottery encourages customers to play within their means. “It’s important for Nebraska Lottery players to remember that no matter how large the jackpot is, the odds of winning the Mega Millions jackpot are 1 in 302 million, and the odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292 million,” said Lottery Director Brian Rockey. “Your odds of winning remain the same, regardless of how many tickets are purchased or how many people play.” If you or someone you know has a problem with gambling, free help is available at&nbsp;<a href="http://problemgambling.nebraska.gov/" target="_blank">problemgambling.nebraska.gov</a>.

Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology students at Mid-Plains Community College have earned TracPipe® certifications following a training session earlier this week.

Doug Passmore, partner at HVAC supply company Mack McClain and Associates, led the discussion in the college’s HVACR department in North Platte on Wednesday.

The training focused on TracPipe® corrugated stainless steel tubing, which is used for natural gas and propane piping. Following demonstrations and hands-on assembly activities, the students took and passed the test for TracPipe® certification.

North Platte, NE March 21,2024 – Lincoln County CASA and Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council are working together to host the Mayoral Proclamation for Child Abuse Prevention Month which is in April. The event will be April 5, 2024, starting at 7 am with the CASA free-will donation breakfast at the Prairie Arts Center in North Platte. At 9 am, Mayor Brandon Kelliher will read the Proclamation to kick off the start of Child Abuse Prevention month. We will also have a silent auction with several items available to bid on. 

The breakfast will include waffles, link sausages, scrambled eggs, fruit cup, coffee, and juice. Child Abuse Prevention may be the primary work of several local organizations, but Nebraska is a mandatory reporting state, so it is the job of every citizen to watch for and report child abuse and neglect. The local prevention council will be promoting education and awareness with Bring Up Nebraska materials. The blue pinwheel campaign is a trademark sign of Child Abuse prevention. 

Everywhere blue pinwheels are placed, prevention is the message. Other activities include Dress Blue Fridays with council members inviting local businesses to dress blue and pose for a picture with council members. 

Child Abuse and neglect is a very real concern for Lincoln County. In 2023, 89 children were referred to CASA as those involved in court cases and needing a child advocate. Many of the children that go into state care are placed outside of Lincoln County because there are not enough foster homes in the area. 

Being taken from their home is a very traumatizing event for many children. They are often placed into surroundings and processes that are very different for them—even if it is a loving environment, it is entirely unfamiliar. 

 Please check the Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council Facebook page and website for more information on activities during April as well as education on the Promotive and Protective Factors that positively impact family stability. 

Proclamation sponsors include Lincoln County CASA, Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council, Sutherland Subway, Gary’s Super Foods, Families First, Hershey State Bank, Premier Rental Purchase, FNBO, Mr. &amp; Mrs. Randy Richards, Merrick’s, and Moxie Salon.

Lincoln County CASANorth Platte, NE March 21,2024 – Lincoln County CASA and Lincoln County Child Abuse Prevention Council are working together to host the Mayoral Proclamation for Child Abuse Prevention Month which is in April. The event will be April 5, 2024, starting at 7 am with the CASA free-will donation breakfast at the Prairie Arts Center in North Platte. At 9 am, Mayor Brandon Kelliher will read the Proclamation to kick off the start of Child Abuse Prevention month. We will also have a silent auction with several items available to bid on. The breakfast will include waffles, link sausages, scrambled eggs, fruit cup, coffee, and juice. Child Abuse Prevention may be the primary work of several local organizations, but Nebraska is a mandatory reporting state, so it is the job of every citizen to watch for and report child abuse and neglect. The local prevention council will be promoting education and awareness with Bring Up Nebraska materials. The blue pinwheel campaign is a trademark sign of Child Abuse prevention.

The Yonts Water Conference will be held on Wednesday, April 10, at the Panhandle Research, Extension, and Education Center, in Scottsbluff. The morning begins at 8:30 a.m. with registration.

The conference will begin at 9 a.m. with Dr. Xin Qiao, Nebraska Extension water and irrigation management specialist. He will discuss ways to improve irrigation efficiencies and give a research update on new irrigation technologies.

The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation personnel will provide an update on the snowpack and expected runoff in the Upper North Platte River Basin.

Representatives from HDR Engineering and the Goshen Irrigation District will present an update on the progress of replacing Tunnel No. 1 and Tunnel No. 2, which collapsed and caused a breach of the canal in 2019. Both tunnels are in Wyoming on the main line canal of the Goshen / Gering-Ft. Laramie Irrigation districts.

RANDY HOUSER has racked up over half a dozen hits and 1 billion streams. His How Country Feels album topped the charts with the title track, “Runnin’ Outta Moonlight” and “Goodnight Kiss” and earned critical acclaim for his powerful delivery of the Top 5 smash and nominated CMA Song of the Year, “Like A Cowboy.” Houser has since added a fourth No. 1 with “We Went” from his 2016 album, Fired Up. With multiple sold out shows in 2023, including an at-capacity stop at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, Houser wrapped 12 months of touring with Cody Johnson.
