Jay Withey Gifted Super Bowl 57 Tickets by Bills After Saving 24 People in Blizzard

In recognition of his heroic efforts during the deadly Christmas-week blizzard in Buffalo, New York, Buffalo resident Jay Withey was presented with two tickets to February's Super Bowl LVII this week.

According to ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg, Bills legend and Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Thurman Thomas and his wife, Patti, gave the tickets to Withey, who rescued 24 people during the storm.

Withey slept in his truck with two strangers after getting stranded in the storm, and then he broke the window of a school in an effort to seek shelter. Withey then found several other stranded people and brought them back to the shelter with him, including seven elderly people.
