BOYD COUNTY MAN PLAYS IT AGAIN, WINS TOP PRIZE ON CASH BALL
September 19, 2011
Dutch Click, 57, of Catlettsburg has been playing Kentucky Cash Ball since the game began ten years ago. For years he would fill out a playslip and pick his own numbers. Since July, Click changed how he bought his tickets by using the Kentucky Lottery’s Play It Again feature.
The Play It Again feature allows players to use their existing ticket(s) to purchase new ticket(s) with their same favorite numbers. There’s no need to fill out or keep their playslip. Click said he changed to this method because the tickets were easier to scan.
On Thursday, September 8, Click went to Kroger #783 in Ashland and handed over his non-winning Cash Ball ticket from the drawing before and asked the clerk to Play It Again. The clerk produced a $5 ticket with five lines of Cash Ball numbers.
The next evening Click went back to a store to get a print out of the winning numbers so that he could check his tickets. “The way I was holding the paper over my ticket I thought I had only matched four numbers to win $2,000. It wasn’t until I went back over it again that I realized I’d matched all five numbers to win $200,000, plus a $1 win on another line,” Click said.
“I finally hit it,” Click told his girlfriend Tonya Chapman, after finding out he’d won. “It’s years due,” Chapman told lottery officials since Click has been playing the lottery for so long.
Click who used to be in construction now works as a delivery sub-contractor after suffering from a stroke three years ago.
After leaving lottery headquarters with a check for $138,000.69 after taxes, Click plans to buy a car for his daughter and mom and take a vacation.
