The Nebraska Game and Parks Commission has selected a winner for their innagural Super Tag Lottery.

Leo Benes of Firth, Nebraska was selected as the winner Thursday.

Benes, who is a Batallion Chief for Lincoln Fire and Rescue says he is excited about winning and never thought he had a chance.

"I hate to admit this but I acctually signed up for the lottery by accident. I thought I was signing up for a normal deer permit. Then I got to looking at it and realized it was for the lottery. I just figured it was a nice donation to the Game and Parks Commission."

The Super Tag lottery is a new program for Game and Parks Commission in 2010.

The lottery winner recieves a valid permit for the 2010 and 2011 hunting seasons. The following bag limits are placed on the permit: one Elk, one Deer, one Antelope and two Turkeys.

"I think I will use the permit for deer first. I live in Firth and have deer right in my back yard." said Benes.

Ralph Wall with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission says that 1,714 people entered the lottery. Each Entry is valued at twenty five dollars. The lottery generated $42,850. Wall says that the money collected will go toward the commissions general game fund.
