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.

Brad Forbes Accidentally Wins A Lot Of Money

Have you ever been at the store, lining up to pay for something, and witnessed somebody wanting to cancel their lottery ticket that they just had printed? There are many different reasons why people end up canceling lottery tickets, but it's usually because the retailer printed out the wrong game. Anyway, I'm going to give you a little tip - Don't ever let anybody cancel a ticket; just buy it yourself. Why? I've heard of a few stories about people not wanting their ticket (Either canceling them or letting somebody else take them) and then those tickets end up being big winners.

Here's an example of this happening - A man named Brad Forbes, from Newport News, Virginia, was in a local store when the retailer told him that the guy that was just in there left two "Win For Life" lotto tickets without paying for them. So Brad, deciding to help out the clerk, paid for the tickets and took them with him. What do you think happened next? Of course, Brad won big money. He actually won a lot of money, literally accidentally because he didn't even intend to play the lottery that day. In fact, Brad says that he is only a casual lottery player.

The Win For Life game that Brad Forbes won on has a top prize of $1000 a week for life. The second prize is $52,000. Both of Brad's tickets actually won the second prize. That means that he won $104,000 in total. Unbelievable!

When asked what he planned to do with the money that he accidentally won, Brad said that he hoped to do some good deeds with it.
