Top 4 Cash Ball Winners Stories

1. Louisville – A man from Louisville won the jackpot of $225,000 after playing for several draws at once. He played on February 21 and ended up the big winner of the February 27 draw in 2021. He used to be a recurrent lottery player and received $159,750 after taxes. His plans involve getting debt-free. The most interesting part of his story is that his girlfriend’s granddaughter had asked him what he would do with the prize on the morning of that lucky draw.
2. Owenton – Unlike many Cash Ball winners, this man from Owenton did not show much excitement when he discovered his jackpot award. His wife said that that is how he usually deals with surprises, but that made her check the ticket at a local shop to be sure. They walked out of the headquarters with $159,768 after taxes, with an extra $26 from another ticket from the draw on October 30, 2019.
3. Frankfort – Although playing Cash Ball 225 was not their normal routine, a couple from Frankfort checked their tickets from other games, including Pick 3 and Pick 4, to end up noticing they had won on Cash Ball. More importantly, that prize came at the right time for their 30th wedding anniversary, on March 12, 2021, which is far better than the traditional prize of pearls.
4. Scottsville – A Scottsville woman won $50 playing the Cash Ball game and decided to invest it in a Gold Rush scratch-off. The small prize results in a big $100,000 win with a $30 ticket. Although not as high as the Cash Ball 225’s jackpot, receiving $71,000 after taxes is still pretty good. Of course, this time, she will not be investing all back in lotteries.
