My hair is a dark brown chocolate color with my ends darker than my roots & mid shaft.
I want a light brown ash/dark blonde color.
Can a platinum blonde box dye lighten my hair enough for me to put the desired light brown ash color over it?
My current hair is colored not virgin hair.

Yes, but you can't necessarily guess or control the outcome. All hair dye has both a dye (color) and come chemicals that open the cortex of the hair and remove some of the color. That is why a person can still get a dye line when they color their hair the "same" color as their natural color.
The issue you may run into is that the hair that is growing out will react differently to the color than hair that has already been colored before.

My hair is brown, and I've always just dyed it light ash blonde (or some other shade close to it) without any problem. Platinum is really severe, and I don't think that's a necessary step - but I'm not a professional.
