Albert Mohrbacher Jr Spent Too Much Money On Lottery Tickets

Do you keep spending money on lottery tickets but never win big? Many of us do. So did Albert Mohrbacher Jr (Pictured here with his wife). He used to play all of the games that Wisconsin Lottery had to offer. That included Powerball, Mega Millions, MegaBucks, SuperCash and Badger 5. But he spent too much money buying tickets. So he stopped. He stopped buying all games except for MegaBucks.

Albert Mohrbacher Jr kept on buying MegaBucks tickets. Then, one day, in March of 2010, he was in the washroom getting ready for church. That's when his wife, who checked the tickets, gave him some news. This is how he described it: "I was up in the bathroom and I heard footsteps coming up the steps and thought, 'Good, (my wife is) bringing me some coffee' - which she usually does. And I hear her tapping on the door and she slowly pushes it open. And then she opened the door and there's tears running down her face as she's standing there." That's when she told him that they won the lottery!

So Albert stops buying lottery tickets, except for one game, and he finally wins. He spent just $2 on the draw that he won. He won a total of $7.5 million. It just goes to show, you don't need to buy a lot of tickets to win!

At the time of his win, Albert Mohrbacher Jr was in his 60's, retired, and living in Racine Wisconsin with his wife. He said that he planned to use the money to buy a bigger house and, maybe, a new boat.
