This lucky guy won nine lotteries in one week

Luck was certainly on the side of this Massachusetts man — who won nine separate $100,000 grand prizes from a single lottery drawing this week with the same numbers he’s played for more than two decades, according to new reports.

Robert Lundstedt, 56, of Brockton, told local station NBC 10 Boston that he had a strange feeling about Monday night’s Mass Cash drawing — so he bought four tickets at Trucchi’s Supermarket in West Bridgewater, two more at The Corner Market in the same town and one at Cumberland Farms in Bridgewater.

“I bought a Gatorade, gave her a five, I had change,” Lundstedt told the station of his final ticket purchase. “I had the ticket in my pocket, and I said, ‘Here, just play this one time.’ And I did.”

The next morning, he checked the numbers in a newspaper, and discovered that all five of his picks — 1, 7, 11, 26 and 30 — matched.

“I wasn’t too surprised,” Lundstedt told the outlet.

“No, OK, I was, yeah,” he admitted.

Lundstedt’s wife, Virginia Lundstedt, 52, told The Boston Globe that her husband had been playing the same five numbers for 26 years.

“That’s how old we were when he started playing that number,” Virginia told the paper. “When he started playing Mass Cash, I was 26 and he was 30.”

Once Lundstedt found out he had won, he called his wife and told her to come home, the paper reported. When she arrived, he first showed her a single ticket.

“Oh, my God, Rob, you finally won!” she told him, according to the report.

But he said, “nope” and started plunking down the other tickets, the paper reported.

“He kept throwing tickets in front of me and I’m, like, ‘Oh my God, are you freaking kidding me?’ It was crazy,” his wife told the paper.

“It’s crazy how he did this, and it came out amazing,” she added. “We’re just very happy about it.”

Lundstedt, a carpenter, gave two of the tickets to his kids, Kristen, 24, and Brian, 21 — which still leaves him with $700,000 in winnings, minus tax withholdings, according to NBC 10. He plans to pay off the mortgage on his home — and his children will put the money toward their student loans, he said.

“It’s not going to change too much for us. We’re pretty simple,” he said. “Just have a little extra in savings.”

Even with his six-figure winnings, Lundstedt said he’d “absolutely” play again.

“I still play it,” he told the station. “That number’s going to come in again.”

A 10th $100,000 winning ticket sold at Fisher Pub in Middleborough had not yet been claimed by Wednesday night, lottery officials told the outlet.

Christian Teja, a Massachusetts State Lottery spokesman, told the Globe that the odds of winning the grand prize are 1 in 324,632. But since each Mass Cash ticket is only $1, it’s common for winners to have purchased more than one, he explained.
