49 licensed Hy-Vee locations across 12 cities in Nebraska.
Hy-Vee is one of the top 5 lottery retailer chains in Nebraska, ranked #2 of 4 tracked chains — about 4.1% of all licensed retailers statewide.
49 Hy-Vee locations officially licensed to sell lottery tickets in Nebraska, sourced directly from the state's official open-data portal.
Every Hy-Vee location listed above holds a valid license from the Nebraska Lottery to sell tickets, meaning the store has passed the state's retailer requirements and reports its lottery sales the same way any other licensed dealer does. As a national or regional chain, Hy-Vee locations tend to offer fairly consistent hours and a full lineup of whatever draw games and scratch-offs Nebraska currently runs, though exact selection and hours vary a bit store-to-store — it's always worth a quick call if you're timing a purchase around a jackpot deadline.
None of the 49 Hy-Vee locations in Nebraska currently show a documented winning-ticket sale in LotteryMap's records. That just reflects what's been tracked so far — every Hy-Vee store sells the same tickets, at the same odds, as any other licensed retailer in Nebraska.
If a ticket from one of these locations pays off, small prizes can usually be cashed right at the register where you bought it. Larger prizes require a trip to an official Nebraska Lottery claim center with the signed ticket and a government-issued photo ID — the store itself won't be able to pay out a jackpot-sized win.
