The Humboldt Curling Club's monthly cash lottery is underway for the new year.

Jason Ford of Humboldt is the first winner of the year, taking home January's $1,000 prize.

The club sells tickets throughout the year with cash being awarded at the end of each month.

On the ice, a pair of events are taking place in February outside of regular league action.

The Farmers Bonspiel is set for February 9-10, while the Hergott Farm Equipment Sheldon Sperling Men's Cash Spiel runs February 23 to 25.
