18 People Who Were Incredibly Lucky

Fate or whatever you call it, some lucky people just find a way to beat incredible odds. Some of these stories are so astonishing, you likely won’t believe them. They witnessed events that are absolutely unlikely and hardly accidental. They were incredibly lucky. Enjoy these true stories that celebrate luck, coincidence, and the joy of being in the right place at the right time. Here is the lucky people compilation which will blow your mind.
1. Bill Morgan:
When his car collided with a truck and he was crushed under the impact, everyone thought it was the end of the line for Australian Bill Morgan, even the doctors. Declared legally dead for more than 14 minutes, he was somehow revived and managed to survive after only 12 days in a coma, even after family removed life support.
But his luck doesn’t end there. To celebrate his survival, he bought a “Scratch It” card and won a car worth AUS $17,000. When the local news station heard about him and all his good fortune, they were so impressed, they did a segment about him on the show. They asked him to reenact the scene by scratching off another card, only for him to win a whopping further $250,000 again during the live show!
2. Edwin E. Robinson:
The odds of getting hit by lightning is 1 in 12,000. But for blind and deaf 62-year-old Edwin E. Robinson, those odds rose to 100 percent.
Robinson wandering around outside in the field near his house, swinging around his aluminum cane, and then taking shelter under the only tree when it began to rain was evidently too tempting for the lightning, which struck him to the ground.
For 20 minutes, he lay unconscious, before waking up and stumbling back to his house, going to bed for a very well-deserved nap. But when he woke up in the evening, he discovered he could see and hear once again. He was later examined by his doctor, who confirmed he had regained both his sight and his hearing, and probably survived the blast due to the rubber-soled shoes he had been wearing.
3. Joan R. Ginther:
Did you know you’re more likely to get struck by an asteroid than win the lottery? But that didn’t stop Joan Ginther. Over the course of her life, she won the lottery an astonishing four times, baffling scientists everywhere. And it wasn’t just measly $20 or $50 wins, either each time, she won multi-million dollar payouts.
It all started when she first won $5.4 million, only to win $2 million more a decade later. Two years later, she won a cool $3 million, followed by a staggering $10 million in 2008.
4. Maarten De Jonge:
Sometimes, people survive solely because they avoid the situation that would’ve put them in danger. Many of these people never consciously do so, however. They chalk it up to circumstances like they were sick or had to do something else at the time, and others say they got a strange feeling not to go.
In just four months, Dutch cyclist Maarten de Jonge cheated death by airplane twice. He booked a seat in the MH17 flight but found a cheaper flight and changed his ticket while the doomed flight he was originally intending to go on crashed midway. He was also scheduled to be on MH370, the flight that went missing in 2014 and was never found, only to reschedule it at the last moment.
5. Terri Preece:
Oysters are a beloved fine-dining food, highly sought after in restaurants and by cooks at home for their flavor, texture, and sometimes even price. They’re thought by some to be an aphrodisiac, and Terri Preece is more than in love with them, now that she found a pearl in one.
With the simple act of getting a few 49-pence oysters from Tesco, much like most other customers do, Terri Preece managed to beat the million-to-one odds to find one of the pale treasures inside. She’s about to move to Spain, and her colleagues at the homeless shelter she worked at made the pearl into a ring worth 500 pounds as a going-away present, to always serve as a little reminder of her great luck.
6. Anders Helstrup:
When you go skydiving, you expect a relative amount of danger to be involved. You are jumping out of a plane and hurtling toward the earth at terminal velocity, right? There’s no way there’s something more dangerous than just that. Except for Norwegian Anders Helstrup, who ran into one complication: A meteorite hurtling down after him? And this wasn’t just a story to tell his friends and have them question his sanity: this encounter was all captured on camera.
Uploaded to the Internet, it attracted the attention of the science community. It was later confirmed by a geologist that a meteorid had exploded about 20 kilometers above him, and the video taken was the first ever video of a meteorite traveling through the air after its flame has gone out. He spent the summer looking for the famed space rock in the surrounding area, but as of 2014, has not found it. Guess you can’t win them all.
