RUSSELL, Ky. (WSAZ) -- A man from eastern Kentucky got a knock on the door and suddenly became $10,000 richer.

Wednesday afternoon, the Publishers Clearing House Prize Patrol surprised a man from Russell, Ky. with the big check.

It took a few knocks on the door before Jack Layne answered. The Prize Patrol actually had to wake him up.

Layne works overnight as a security guard and sleeps during the day.

And what is he going to do with the money? The very sleepy winner said pay some bills and taxes.

I am happy to see someone who works for a living and struggles, to win some cash prize. And to say hes paying bills with it? thats what I like to hear. A hard worker, and an everyday joe, he deserves it. The lottery winnders whose been winning lately, dosent need the money. We need more hard working average people to start winning more and more.
