Lisa Callegan of Houma was pleasantly surprised when she chose to play a Black Cherry Doubler scratch-off from the Louisiana Lottery and won a $14,000 top prize.  

Callegan, age 50, said that she chose Black Cherry Doubler because she had never played the game before.  She shared that her choice stemmed from her philosophy "you have to play to win!"

Callegan purchased her top-prize winning ticket at Sai Fuel, LLC on St. Charles Street in Houma.  She plans to use her winnings to pay-off her car and share with others.

Black Cherry Doubler is a $2 game that features the chance to win up to 10 times on each ticket.  The game has one $14,000 top prize remaining as of June 25.
