Dennis "Mick" Murphy is on his way to Arizona to catch the Super Bowl this weekend. The Omaha man won the tickets through a national contest he entered here on WOWT.COM.

Murphy picked up the tickets during the Channel 6 Midday News on Friday where he told our Jim Siedlecki, "After this, they're going back in the envelope and I'll keep them real secure."

The tickets have a face value of $700 apiece.

Murphy found out that he had won on Thursday, a day after signing up for the random drawing.

"I was relaxing and the phone rang," he said. "So I got up to answer the phone and looked at the caller ID, saw that it was WOWT. First thought in my head was, what are they calling me for? And then it hit me: man, it must be the Super Bowl tickets."

The free tickets will get Murphy and his son in the gate at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. They're on their own for travel and lodging but that won't be a problem. Murphy already had plans to visit his dad who lives near Phoenix.

He says, "My dad's going to be 85 and we're having a family reunion for him the following weekend. So I was leaving on the 6th. So I got a hold of Southwest and changed my departure date to the second."

Murphy says he's actually more of a college football fan but he doesn't plan on giving up the tickets unless his lucky streak brings him a better deal.

"I guess if somebody were to knock my socks off with some kind of money, I'd have to give it some thought. I think anybody would have to do that," he said.

Murphy tells us he will probably cheer for New England on Sunday. There are former Huskers on the Patriot roster.
