Sensenbrenner is a foe of illegal aliens
U.S. Rep. James Sensenbrenner of Wisconsin, known for his strong opposition to illegal immigration, won the lottery for the third time last week, the Associated Press reported Friday.
The Republican — already a millionaire — 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, the AP said.
Congratulations to the Lucky Congressman!
Anyone know what his position was on the Online Gambling Bill?
I have got to look this one up!
Congratulations Congressman Sensenbrenner.
At least he's not hiding his gambling habits.

It's stories like this that make you want to punch your monitor.
Obviously the lottery isn't played by only poor people.
Rich and poor they both want (More) money, not that they are going to get it, but they think that they might, a very few will of course.
Even Bill Gates wouldn't mind having more money.
you are right justx because jack whittaker was already a millionaire through his business before he won the lottery
Be good if someone in Wisconsin would send this guy an email requesting he initiate a federal law banning computerized lotteries.
He probably plays just for fun.
No self imposed pressure to win = a win !
Since I got 3 responses to this comment (thank you) I want to mention that I was being facetious. (hope my use of the word is correct)
People are always saying that only the poor and desperate play the lottery, so this is just one example, among many, of why that statement isn't true. They also say "it only takes one" which is true, but I sometimes feel that people who can blow $50 in one night have a greater shot at winning a jackpot, just using a little common sense. Tonight I bought my regular 4 Lotto tickets and the man in back of me asked for 10 Lotto and 10 Fantasy 5. We both have a chance, but his odds are a little better, especially in Fantasy 5, since I didn't buy any!
Isn't every congressman a winner of the DC lottery?
Hm.. Something is missing here.
I hope he steps forward, claims cash value, and doesn't have problems later in life.
With his family fortune, I don't think he will have financial problems later in life ... LOL
