MILWAUKEE - U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, already a millionaire and heir to the Kimberly-Clark fortune, is on a lucky streak. The Republican hit it big in 1997 with a $250,000 jackpot in the District of Columbia lottery. Then, last spring, he won $1,000 prize in the Wisconsin lottery, and he won another $1,000 in that lottery last week. "I got lucky," Sensenbrenner said. Sensenbrenner, 64, was born into a family that helped build Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Kleenex tissue and Scott paper towels, and he recently reported a net worth of about $11.6 million. He said he spends about $10 a week on lottery tickets. The latest winnings came in a Super 2nd Chance drawing, in which people who mail in at least $5 in losing tickets vie for 10 $1,000 prizes each week. Lottery officials put the odds of winning just one time at 1 in 5,000. Source: yahoo
bahh... some people are just so lucky.. the most i ever won was a teddy bear at a state fair about 20 years ago...
hilarious. i don't think i even won more then $100 on a scratch ticket. and i sure had my fair share.
yea,i play the lotto and im always 1 number off from winning anything..some have all the luck,then theres me..
damn u wish i was as lucky as that guy. i play lotorry in the UK, and havent won anything for over 2 years now. haha
This sounds like the lottery was rigged. What is the mathematical probability of a U.S. Rep winning the lotto more than once? It has to be in the gazillions. I think there should be an investigation.
Jeez, for a second there I thought I was going to be the first person to express doubt about the veracity of this situation. There should DEFINITELY be an investigation. The odds of him winning are just too small, esp. 3 times and even if it is only $1,000 for the last 2. He should have been investigated back in '97 when he won the first time - a state congressman winning that state's lottery? Bad.
