A Louisville man has claimed his lottery prize just hours after winning it. The Kentucky Lottery said today the man has chosen to remain anonymous after winning 225-thousand-dollars playing Kentucky's Cash Ball game. The win came in the middle of the man dealing with the death of his mother. He had just returned from her funeral late last month when he stopped at a Thornton's and bought some tickets. After taxes the winning check was cut for 162-thousand-dollars.
