| Description | MILWAUKEE (AP) - Congressman 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 US$250,000 jackpot in the District of Columbia lottery.
Last spring, he won a $1,000 prize in the Wisconsin lottery and then, last week, he won another $1,000 in that lottery.
"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 one in 5,000. |
