I have a classmate who went to Chicago for a weekend and she ended up losing one of her AirPods. She was very frustrated, but there was no way she was going to find it in the city. A week later she went back to Chicago to visit a friend. They ended up going to a restaurant that she went to the week before. By some miracle she found her AirPod at the booth she was sitting at. Insane luck
I am a seamstress and one day I was attending a costume fashion show for charity. At this show they had a raffle with various sewing things (costume patterns, irons, fabric. etc.). I was mostly interested in winning some patterns so I put most of my raffle tickets into the pattern boxes but for kicks and giggles I put a few tickets into the grand prize box which had over $100s of quality sewing supplies, a really fancy iron, and a gift card to the local fabric store that sold high end fabric. At the end of the show I went to check my tickets, disappointed that I didn’t get the patterns, completely forgetting the couple tickets I put in the grand prize, so as I’m about to leave somebody says how they were disappointed they didn’t win the grand prize, reminding me that I had put some tickets in. I look up the number and I had won it. I was floored thinking I had a much better chance winning anything else as there were less tickets in those boxes than the grand prize but somehow out of maybe 3 tickets I had put in that box against the hundreds of other people that had put in tickets I had won.
I was nearly hit by a speeding bus in the Bahamas, age 6. My grandpa pulled me off the road in the nick of time though, and it was such a close call that I could *feel* the bus brush past. I’m lucky to be alive Also, a smaller win, but important to me nonetheless: a couple years ago I was accepted into a hugely popular animated project. Thousands applied, and only a couple got to work as volunteers to animate it. It skyrocketed my improvement with animation, as then it was much easier to join future projects with that on my portfolio + the connections I made. I was able to learn from more and more experienced animators because of that, for free
I wrecked my van last year. A truck hit the passengers side. The van was totaled. All that was left was the drivers seat. I walked away with a little damage from the airbag and seat belt. No blood, nothing broken, no permanent damage. God and my Mom (she had just passed away) was looking out for me. Everyone said I should not have walked away from that. Was also my first wreck. I think I am very blessed and very lucky!! 💜
Does meeting my husband count? We met it 2007, started dating in 2008. Got married in 2014. I love this man more than anything else in the world. He is my other half.
My husband and I were looking for our first house. Most of the places we could afford were flops for us and at one point I had given up hope. My husband then told me about a house that was in our budget but in an area I didn’t wanna live. He begged me to go see it and we did. It has so much space, has a lot of Victorian charm to it, and was 30 minutes to work for both of us. I ended up saying “ok let’s put a bid on it”. Our realtor told us another offer was accepted so we started looking again. Then a few days later, on my dad’s 60th birthday no less, we got a call from our realtor that the original person it was supposed to go to was taking too long with the paperwork. I told her that we still wanted the house. She emailed us the paperwork, we signed it, and we were under contract! It was our first bid we put in on any house! We’ve been living in it for almost a year now and we couldn’t have asked for a better house.
The one that stands out to me. I was a poor kid, still poor but not a kid anymore. Star wars battlefront for playstation 2 was coming out and seeing how cool it looked i wanted it. But alas, poor me couldn't afford it. To quell my disappointment i went into the game store, looked at boxes, got a Robot wars game from the discount returned games section for like 45:- Skr or like 4 dollars. On the way home i was oogling over the contents of the box (as you do) and found it weird that the backside was for star wars battlefront. I thought 'Well it's new, it's probably promotion' and later noticed there were two discs. Getting hopeful, when i got home i realized. Yup. Somehow the robot wars cd and booklet were plastic wrapped together with the star wars battlefront cd and booklet. I have no idea what the odds of that are, but sub promille. I played the hell out of that game. If it'd be on steam there's a high chance it would have been my most played game on steam to this day, only perhaps outshone by SWB 2. The robot wars game was also fun. Totally worth it :P
11 years ago, I got hit by a car while driving a moped. I still remember it clear as that moment. I was always super aware, and I noticed that the car wasn't slowing down or yielding (they were headed toward me and going into a left turn lane to turn left across my lanes). It was like I was in slow motion. I managed to swerve enough that she didn't run over me, and I instead hit her passenger side door. I slid along 50 feet of asphalt but my moped went on its side and created a protective barrier around me. I walked away with some Bruises, a boxer fracture in one hand, and the opposite shoulder dislocated, and just a little bit of road rash. The other insane part was that my best friend happened to be 30 seconds behind me (we were driving to and from different places), and she unfortunately had to witness it. But she had the clear mind to be able to call of the needed people, get me and my moped out of the middle of the road, and then stay with me in the ER. Having her there gave me the ability to not completely freak out and/or go into shock, and I also walked away from an accident driving a 2 wheeled vehicle with minimal damage. My ER people still don't understand how I managed that.
I won $50,000 on a $30 scratch off ticket, shortly after quiting a job that I honestly should have sued for violating many of my legal rights. They also broke laws (and had me unknowingly break laws) in other states and countries.
The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was that I survived the life threatening necrotising fasciitis (flesh eating) infection that I got in my right leg after contracting Strep A in August 2022. I could've lost my leg and my life, both were saved and I'm morbidly obese. I was in the hospital five and a half weeks, caught Covid while there and even though it was a very long recovery (and I'm currently in CBT for the emotional damage it caused), I survived. It still astounds me that I lived when I know stories of people who were younger and physically fitter than me who died from that infection around the same time. A bit of luck and all the hard work and efforts of the medical professionals who helped me really saved me.
I guess for me, probably finding money/wads of money on more than one occasion - once, as a little kid, I found a $100 bill in an old desk at an auction; and another good one I can remember was back when I was in my 20's, I was leaving Wal-Mart and walking out the exit doors and I saw what appeared to be leaves rustling in the wind - but I soon realized dead leaves aren't rectangle or that shade of green - it was like dozens of $20 bills just blowing in the wind. I managed to grab maybe a couple hundred dollars worth and a couple of friends grabbed like $40-100 each. In retrospect, we probably should have turned all of that in - I know luck like that will balance out somewhere down the road.. Before my wife left, I would have said my own personal best luck would have been meeting her. Even though we got along swimmingly and we never fought and always remarked to everyone who would listen, how lucky we were and claimed to be like soulmates and best friends, she just disappeared one day - left for work back in June 2023 (just a few days after my birthday and a few days before our 5th wedding anniversary) and I haven't seen her since (Now January 2024)... She had some stuff going on inside that I didn't completely know about/understand.. As good as we were, I thought we'd have at least tried therapy/couples therapy/marriage counseling or something.. But oh well, I can only take that to mean something good is coming my way someday. She literally just texted me yesterday to say she's about to come get her stuff.
When I was 15 I slipped on some ice and hit my head on a concrete curb while out with friends. I started having headaches and went to the doctor. Got prescribed Robax Platinum for what was presumed to be whiplash. I took it for around a week, but it wasn't helping, and I had also started vomiting. So I went back to the doctor who sent me for a CAT scan, where they found a mass. Turned out to be cancer, and a brain tumor at that. From there I underwent testing, had surgery for removal of the main mass (which ended up being the size of a lime), and then had chemo and radiation therapy. That was almost 15 years ago, and though I do have some side-effects (mainly as a result of the chemo and radiation), I'm lucky enough to be alive today.
Not the most useful but definitely lucky in a funny way. My next door neighbors used to throw crazy parties and I’m not talking about what you are thinking I mean children’s birthday parties where all the adults were drunk and gambling. Their baby showers were no different. I went to both of them and trust me they were riots with everyone playing very intense games, and so much drinking (except for the mom of course). And it was wild but then the raffle began. Basically everyone gets 2 tickets but if you want more you could pay a dollar for additional. And people really wanted to win so we’re giving the family like 20 to 30 bucks. And I just got my 2 given tickets so I was kinda dejected because even though a basket of soaps was not what I was into as a child i liked winning so I patiently waited for it to begin. I won both of the prizes. I walked away with both a 50 dollar Cheesecake Factory and all the soaps. Just imagine the glares I got from all these drunk out of their mind relatives when this tiny little 9 year old got both of the prizes of honor. That was a good day.
Don’t know about luck but the most unlucky thing that ever happened to me and my first mistake was winning that damn race, all because of that race I’m here
I consider myself a very lucky person, and would tell you loads of stories about how I got lucky. But one that comes to mind is a 5 hour road trip home from Disneyland to Phoenix, AZ. 4 people in one old Nissan altima. Most of us were pretty overweight at the time and it's a long drive on some steep hills. About 3 hours in and I notice I have to press the gas pedal harder to keep at 65-75mph. This went on for the remainder of the journey home and kept getting worse. After the 5th hour, I pull off the freeway exit super close to home and the car wouldn't drive. I slowly pull off to the side and give the car a break. After 5 minutes I turn it on and slowly turned into my neighborhood. Found out the transmission was done for, But at least we made it home when it broke down. Cost more than the cars worth to get it repaired. Ended up with the best car I've ever had
When I was 16 I went to England on foreign exchange. One night the girl I was staying with took me clubbing with a bunch of her friends from school. Unbeknownst to me, there was a hole in my jacket pocket and I lost my wallet, which had all the money I’d brought for the entire trip. We reported it to the police just in case, and three days later they called to say someone turned it in, with all the money still in it.
My most lucky one was when I was traveling in Hong Kong and had to take a shuttle bus up a mountain to the hotel I was staying at. Unfortunately because I got lost, the bus was arriving in 10 minutes and I was 15 minutes away from the place where it would pick me up. I ran like my life depended on it(it was the last bus and if I missed it I would have to climb the mountain) and arrived, thinking I missed it since it had been 17 minutes, but decided to wait a minute anyway. A few seconds later, the bus stopped. A perfect mix of athletic ability and good luck
@@Creators_not_consumers I was going more for the British English vs American English thing. Pecan is a good one. Do you use a shopping cart, trolley, or buggie?
I was in a car accident almost 11 years ago and ended up with some pretty severe injuries. Spiral break of both the bones in my right shin, a chunk of nerves and muscle was torn out of my left ankle where the brake pedal embedded itself into it, had shards of glass and metal going almost straight threw my left forearm, slipped a disk out of place between my shoulder blades and nearly ruptured one in my lower back, and broken ribs that punctured a lung and caused a laceration on my liver. The bones in my leg didn't splinter when it broke so it didn't require surgery to fix, the glass and metal all missed the arteries and veins in my arm, the puncture in my lung was only about the size of a large needle, the laceration on my liver was the equivalent of a papercut, and the disks in my back didn't damage my spinal cord. By all medical and logical accounts I *should* have died or at least have been paralysed from the waist down. Even the doctors weren't sure how I survived, let alone was able to walk again only a year later.
I was at greatwolf lodge and in the arcade, and spotted the unicorn from despicable me (the first movie) as a prize. Young me wanted to win that unicorn badly. So i went around playing as many games as i could until i ended up at this spinning wheel which offered a jackpot prize (a bunch of tickets) to whoever landed on it. Mind you those are extrmeely hard to win so i tested my luck. I spun a few times before hitting the jackpot. With that i had enough tickets to get my unicorn and was even able to yell that iconic line "Its so fluffy im going to die!" I ipstill have that unicorn plush on my shelf in my room. One of my favorite moments at great wolf lodge.
Story 11: This is racism and sexism, taken to the OTHER side of the extreme. It sounds like if they knew he was a he, had a heterosexual relationship and was white, he would have lost the scholarship. This is as wrong as doing the opposite. I'm just happy it worked out for that guy in the end. But my goodness...
Here’s my story not as cool as others but I like it. I was like 10 and decided I wanted to ride my bike. So I got on and the entire time I got this nagging feeling, something was wrong I was missing something. I was missing a helmet. I realized this maybe like 2 seconds before or after falling over, my head barely two inches from the edge of the concrete. Had I hit the concrete I could have really hurt myself.
IDK if this counts because I have mixed feelings about it but I've avoided getting mugged by appearing intimidating. That's the explanation people have given me. I remember two instances from the top of my head. 1- I was like 22 (I think?) I was on a bus. I was standing in the middle since it was super crowded and some guys got on pointing their guns and everything. People were freaking out (there were kids, too), I thought they'd take my phone or something. I even got it out of my pocket but something came to me and I put it back in. When the guy collecting the stuff got to me he visibly recoiled and got off really quick. Neither I nor the people after me got mugged (People were looking at me). When I got off I helped a guy who was at the door to calm down and lent him my phone so he could call someone. He said the guy pointed the gun to his face. I waited with him until his parents arrived. 2- I was outside waiting for my sister to get home and some suspicious guys were coming at me (I know that sounds mean but where I'm from the crime rates are through the roof), they just looked at me for a second and turned around. My sister got home safely, thank God. My mixed feelings come from the fact that it made me feel bad about myself. That I was (still am) going through depression doesn't help. I'm not even tall (I'm like 5'7", I think), or muscular. People say I'm intimidating nonetheless. Even in HS., my bullies recoiled when they saw me standing and scattered saying they were joking. I always thought they exaggerated or it was part of their mocking but no, they really thought I was going to hit them or something. I even got warned for that (That's a funny story for another time), and I was the quiet kid, mind you. But despite that, I still get all kinds of people coming to talk to me about everything, especially strangers,. So, where does that intimidating aura come from? I know it has helped me avoid some bad things but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. PS. BTW, since you said you were going to read the comments I want to ask. What happened to Very Sparked? No more spicy stories? Is everything all right? Hugs to you just in case.
I guess I have had some insane luck, towards the end of my 8th grade covid hit, I was failing a few classes but due to the lockdown all my grades were boosted up and I passed then in 10th grade, the exams were very important, I was a mess but all the exam marks were half of what it used to be, and since most were multiple choice I scored high and then those marks were doubled and I got above 90%.
The company I was working for announced a shutdown due to financial reasons the LITERAL DAY BEFORE the covid lockdowns in the UK, they kept the company running on paper so we all received furlough payments (80%) for as long as possible and arranged for as many of us a possible to transfer to other parts of the parent company. I rejected the transfer opportunity, and the furlough extension meant I passed my 5th year with them so I got 10 weeks of (full) pay as a redundancy package. R.I.P Cycle Republic, but Halfords are solid.
Im convinced my dad is cursed with bad luck, the amount of stuff that breaks on him is absurd, his car caught fire on his birthday and he hadn't had his car back for about 3 months
This might be a bit of a childish story in some people's eyes, but to me it is everything I've ever dreamed of. Sorry, it's pretty long 😅 I've been dancing since I was 6 years old (I'm 21 now), mostly streetdance/hip-hop style. When I was in high school I didn't know what I wanted to do next. I'd been thinking of going to a dance academy since I'd always dreamed of doing so, but I felt like at that age I was not good enough at dancing to ever be able to do something with it professionally, and decided against it. Instead, I chose to do one year of communication at a uni of applied sciences (Dutch school systems are very different) so I could enroll into Korean Studies at a university afterwards. I've been a big fan of Korean pop music since 2017 and in 2018 I found A.C.E, one of my favorite groups to date. My music taste and general interest got me studying everything about Korea, and now in my 2nd year of the study, I was able to get a scholarship for a study abroad semester in Seoul as part of the curriculum since I just barely met the requirements. Now, I was actually supposed to go back home on the 11th of January aka about a week ago. However, a few days prior, A.C.E's agency posted about an event where 55 fans would be selected from an application (first come first serve) to participate, and while I did not think I'd be able to get in, I sent in an application anyway. However, just two days before my flight (I'd already been packing my bags) I received an email that I was chosen for the event! Originally I was no.56, but as one person got removed, I was allowed to join anyway. It was JUST in time for me to be able to reschedule my flight, cancel my hotel for the next day and ask my airbnb host if I could stay for 2 more weeks. The idea of the event is that the idols themselves teach us the choreography for their new, unreleased song (which happened last weekend, last practice this Saturday) and we will be in their official music video for about 40 seconds along with some other small benefits. The music video shooting will be this Sunday, and I'm super excited, because I've always wished I could do something professional with dance, and even if this was not the event of a group I've loved and supported for about 6 years, this would still have been a childhood dream come true. If I wasn't able to get the study abroad scholarship, if I didn't have enough money saved, if my plane had left just ONE day earlier, I would not have been able to do this. It's an insane experience and most definitely worth the few hundred extra euros it cost me!
@@Shajogajob right? Like, I had never heard it the "right" way until I was an adult and heard an east coast person say it. I think it's less American way vs everywhere else's way and more East coast vs everyone else 😅
Got broken up with, and moved home... was going to do something that required a physical, physical found cancer that was close to spreading. Bad things might be good luck.
Back in 2018, I was in a gmc5500 with a 20bbl(840gallon) tank on it pulling drip from pipelines. I was on the highway to turn left, so I was stopped. Now this part was both luck and training. I had 3bbls of high H2S drip on. Both extremely flammable. Luck came in because the tank didn't rupture and explode. Training came in because the safest course of action was to just sit there and take the impact. If you're wondering why I didn't speed up straight, the vehicle that hit me was about 50 yards away when I saw it. Didn't have time to accelerate. All I did was close my eyes and make peace. I was expecting to be a goner. It's been 6yrs since that accident and I still can't figure out how I didn't go boom. I didn't come out completely unharmed though. My lower back is permanently fucked up, but I'm alive
I found a full odds shiny Rufflet in Pokemon Violet while I was level grinding for the Water type Gym. My first _actual_ shiny. (No, I don't count the Lake of Rage Gyarados in HGSS since that's always shiny.)
I don’t know if this was the luckiest thing that happened to me but when I was a kid, I was playing musical chairs at a school that my older sibling went to at that time and I won a cake
one that comes to mind is that one night (few months ago) I was just walking my dog one more time before going to bed, I just happen to look up and saw a shooting star ( As soon I look up, bang that shooting star event took place.)(There was nothing on the news that was talking about this happening)
its both my luckiest day and unluckiest day, i found a four leaved cloverleaf once, it dried up under my possession before i could even give it the stuff it needs to survive, after that i got geniunely unlucky for 3 days, and got punishment for literally nothing, while someone else got luck. happened as a little kid
Story 1) I remember years ago when I was cycling home from the college bus and I crashed my bicycle at about 30mph next to a 40mph road, I don't remember what happened but I remember waking up, sat up on a traffic island(where pedestrians stand midway in crossing the road), between 2 curbs, an off duty fireman saw me as he was passing and came over to render first aid just as I tried to stand up, my friends came along a few minutes later, one of whom, FOUND MY TOOTH, 12ft away from where I landed, my bike landed by a gate about 12ft to the left, away from the 40mph road, I got rushed to hospital due to head injuries(no helmet), at the hospital, x-rays showed no bone damage, the only injuries I suffered, were split lips, a split tongue, missing tooth and road rash down one side of my face, they stitched me up and now I just have a couple of small scars and 2 fake teeth. Story 2) Months later, I was riding the same bike, I had replaced the trashed forks(damaged in the crash) and the left chain stay was cracked(also from the crash) by the wheel but it was holding, me and a friend rode out to a fishing tackle store, part of the journey was down a long, steep hill where we hit 50mph by the bottom, we made it there and back with no issues, when I got home, I rode up a dropped curb at about 2mph and the crack in the frame, totally gave out, all I could do was imagine what happened if it failed while going 50mph... If I was 18, I would have bought a couple of lottery tickets.

This happened when I was super young so I don’t remember it very well, but while skiing when I was like 6? I almost went straight off the mountain side, and the drop would have been enough to severely injure or kill me. I was skiing with my dad and started heading towards the edge of the cliff, but I couldn’t stop. Ended up doing some maneuver where I fell and slid on my side to stop. Kid you not I was dangling over the edge of that cliff, and my panicked dad was trying so so hard not to lose it while he pulled me back to safe ground. Another story is when I was 4 and went to some monster truck rally thing (real southern I know-), and my dad had the brilliant idea to sit at the top of the bleachers with his two toddler children. Well, I just so happened to be small enough to slip through the opening separating the bleachers and fell right through while trying to sit on some weird chair my dad had brought. Fell about the height of a one story house and landed flat on my back. Random guy came to check on me and the next thing I remember is my dad bringing me to the EMS that were stationed at the event. They looked me over and I was completely fine, no concussions, no broken limbs, just a little bruising. Have no idea what prevented me from being seriously injured because if I had not landed on my back I would’ve ended up with broken bones, or I could’ve died. Funny how both my lucky instances have to do with heights of some sort. Maybe the universe wants me to stop going up on high places, that or I’m just clumsy.
This just happened. My steering was slowly going out in my truck, but it was so gradual that I hadn't noticed it. One day my dad borrows my truck so my younger brother can work on getting his permit. They try to drive down the road, and my truck can barely make a left turn. You had to crank the steering wheel all the way over and it still barely made it. My dad drives the truck back to his house and looks it over. The frame next to the steering block was rusted out. He said I was lucky I hadn't crashed yet and that the steering could've gone out at any time. For some context, I drive an hour to the next town over for college on the highway, so if my steering went out on my commute it would not have been pretty. So my dad takes the rusted part of the frame out and welds in a new piece. He's giving the truck a once over before declaring it road safe, when he notices one of the ball joints for the passenger side front wheel is loose. Apparently the seal thing or whatever it is (i am not mechanic savvy) had corroded away and there was almost an inch of dead space in the joint. That wheel could have just popped out at any time. According to my dad it's a miracle I'm alive, because that wheel could have popped out from something as small as a minor pothole. Add the steering failure to the mix, and I have no idea how I was able to drive that truck for so long without one of those two things going out.
#6 is awesome. Down to your last 50 pence and then BOOM! everything turns around so big and fast that next thing you know, you wake up with £4000 on your kitchen counter. From 50 pence to four grand. Obviously, this guy did the right thing at some point and went home a MASSIVE winner.
#6, #8 and #9 are true luck as most people see it. Especially 8 and 9. #8 turned $50 into FORTY-SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS (counting the $1,000 put away on the first day) while #9 was just... awesome. An eight-year-old makes mincemeat of a raffle, then only keeps a few things. seriously, though... #8 is what everyone dreams about happening when they visit Las Vegas! That is a whopping NINE HUNDRED FORTY TIMES the initial investment!

#13. the IED one. you misunderstand what a military person would mean by "tired". they likely aren't talking 30 mins in line for the bathroom here. OP had quite possibly been on their feet for anywhere from 8-16 hours, little sleep, hours of walking and stressful combat situations. they also would have had to be on the ready to jump up and move from sleep at the first hint of active combat. so in that state, while definetly a stupid move, it is at least understandable how, what would otherwise be a very obviously stupid thing to do, it seemed like a good idea. granted you'd need the OP to chime in and clear up if they were just delusional from fatigue or if it was just a really close darwin award but my point being to not immediatly conclusions. edit to clean up wording to not imply i have military experience. i do not. i am just an internet nerd.

Does meeting my husband count? We met it 2007, started dating in 2008. Got married in 2014. I love this man more than anything else in the world. He is my other half.
My husband and I were looking for our first house. Most of the places we could afford were flops for us and at one point I had given up hope. My husband then told me about a house that was in our budget but in an area I didn’t wanna live. He begged me to go see it and we did. It has so much space, has a lot of Victorian charm to it, and was 30 minutes to work for both of us. I ended up saying “ok let’s put a bid on it”. Our realtor told us another offer was accepted so we started looking again. Then a few days later, on my dad’s 60th birthday no less, we got a call from our realtor that the original person it was supposed to go to was taking too long with the paperwork. I told her that we still wanted the house. She emailed us the paperwork, we signed it, and we were under contract! It was our first bid we put in on any house! We’ve been living in it for almost a year now and we couldn’t have asked for a better house.
The one that stands out to me.
I was a poor kid, still poor but not a kid anymore. Star wars battlefront for playstation 2 was coming out and seeing how cool it looked i wanted it. But alas, poor me couldn't afford it.
To quell my disappointment i went into the game store, looked at boxes, got a Robot wars game from the discount returned games section for like 45:- Skr or like 4 dollars.
On the way home i was oogling over the contents of the box (as you do) and found it weird that the backside was for star wars battlefront. I thought 'Well it's new, it's probably promotion' and later noticed there were two discs.
Getting hopeful, when i got home i realized. Yup. Somehow the robot wars cd and booklet were plastic wrapped together with the star wars battlefront cd and booklet.
I have no idea what the odds of that are, but sub promille.
I played the hell out of that game. If it'd be on steam there's a high chance it would have been my most played game on steam to this day, only perhaps outshone by SWB 2.
The robot wars game was also fun. Totally worth it :P
11 years ago, I got hit by a car while driving a moped. I still remember it clear as that moment. I was always super aware, and I noticed that the car wasn't slowing down or yielding (they were headed toward me and going into a left turn lane to turn left across my lanes). It was like I was in slow motion. I managed to swerve enough that she didn't run over me, and I instead hit her passenger side door. I slid along 50 feet of asphalt but my moped went on its side and created a protective barrier around me. I walked away with some Bruises, a boxer fracture in one hand, and the opposite shoulder dislocated, and just a little bit of road rash. The other insane part was that my best friend happened to be 30 seconds behind me (we were driving to and from different places), and she unfortunately had to witness it. But she had the clear mind to be able to call of the needed people, get me and my moped out of the middle of the road, and then stay with me in the ER. Having her there gave me the ability to not completely freak out and/or go into shock, and I also walked away from an accident driving a 2 wheeled vehicle with minimal damage. My ER people still don't understand how I managed that.
I won $50,000 on a $30 scratch off ticket, shortly after quiting a job that I honestly should have sued for violating many of my legal rights. They also broke laws (and had me unknowingly break laws) in other states and countries.
The luckiest thing that ever happened to me was that I survived the life threatening necrotising fasciitis (flesh eating) infection that I got in my right leg after contracting Strep A in August 2022. I could've lost my leg and my life, both were saved and I'm morbidly obese. I was in the hospital five and a half weeks, caught Covid while there and even though it was a very long recovery (and I'm currently in CBT for the emotional damage it caused), I survived. It still astounds me that I lived when I know stories of people who were younger and physically fitter than me who died from that infection around the same time. A bit of luck and all the hard work and efforts of the medical professionals who helped me really saved me.
I guess for me, probably finding money/wads of money on more than one occasion - once, as a little kid, I found a $100 bill in an old desk at an auction; and another good one I can remember was back when I was in my 20's, I was leaving Wal-Mart and walking out the exit doors and I saw what appeared to be leaves rustling in the wind - but I soon realized dead leaves aren't rectangle or that shade of green - it was like dozens of $20 bills just blowing in the wind. I managed to grab maybe a couple hundred dollars worth and a couple of friends grabbed like $40-100 each. In retrospect, we probably should have turned all of that in - I know luck like that will balance out somewhere down the road..
Before my wife left, I would have said my own personal best luck would have been meeting her. Even though we got along swimmingly and we never fought and always remarked to everyone who would listen, how lucky we were and claimed to be like soulmates and best friends, she just disappeared one day - left for work back in June 2023 (just a few days after my birthday and a few days before our 5th wedding anniversary) and I haven't seen her since (Now January 2024)... She had some stuff going on inside that I didn't completely know about/understand.. As good as we were, I thought we'd have at least tried therapy/couples therapy/marriage counseling or something.. But oh well, I can only take that to mean something good is coming my way someday. She literally just texted me yesterday to say she's about to come get her stuff.
When I was 15 I slipped on some ice and hit my head on a concrete curb while out with friends. I started having headaches and went to the doctor. Got prescribed Robax Platinum for what was presumed to be whiplash. I took it for around a week, but it wasn't helping, and I had also started vomiting. So I went back to the doctor who sent me for a CAT scan, where they found a mass. Turned out to be cancer, and a brain tumor at that. From there I underwent testing, had surgery for removal of the main mass (which ended up being the size of a lime), and then had chemo and radiation therapy. That was almost 15 years ago, and though I do have some side-effects (mainly as a result of the chemo and radiation), I'm lucky enough to be alive today.
For me it’s Video game luck. I’m super lucky in video games and usually get super rare items without even knowing it.
Not the most useful but definitely lucky in a funny way. My next door neighbors used to throw crazy parties and I’m not talking about what you are thinking I mean children’s birthday parties where all the adults were drunk and gambling. Their baby showers were no different. I went to both of them and trust me they were riots with everyone playing very intense games, and so much drinking (except for the mom of course). And it was wild but then the raffle began. Basically everyone gets 2 tickets but if you want more you could pay a dollar for additional. And people really wanted to win so we’re giving the family like 20 to 30 bucks. And I just got my 2 given tickets so I was kinda dejected because even though a basket of soaps was not what I was into as a child i liked winning so I patiently waited for it to begin.
I won both of the prizes. I walked away with both a 50 dollar Cheesecake Factory and all the soaps. Just imagine the glares I got from all these drunk out of their mind relatives when this tiny little 9 year old got both of the prizes of honor. That was a good day.

Don’t know about luck but the most unlucky thing that ever happened to me and my first mistake was winning that damn race, all because of that race I’m here
😖 Same.
Yea, me too, but how bad would it have been for the ones that you beat, had they won. You were the "best" after all, since you won.
I consider myself a very lucky person, and would tell you loads of stories about how I got lucky. But one that comes to mind is a 5 hour road trip home from Disneyland to Phoenix, AZ.
4 people in one old Nissan altima. Most of us were pretty overweight at the time and it's a long drive on some steep hills. About 3 hours in and I notice I have to press the gas pedal harder to keep at 65-75mph. This went on for the remainder of the journey home and kept getting worse. After the 5th hour, I pull off the freeway exit super close to home and the car wouldn't drive. I slowly pull off to the side and give the car a break. After 5 minutes I turn it on and slowly turned into my neighborhood.
Found out the transmission was done for, But at least we made it home when it broke down. Cost more than the cars worth to get it repaired. Ended up with the best car I've ever had
When I was 16 I went to England on foreign exchange. One night the girl I was staying with took me clubbing with a bunch of her friends from school. Unbeknownst to me, there was a hole in my jacket pocket and I lost my wallet, which had all the money I’d brought for the entire trip. We reported it to the police just in case, and three days later they called to say someone turned it in, with all the money still in it.
My most lucky one was when I was traveling in Hong Kong and had to take a shuttle bus up a mountain to the hotel I was staying at. Unfortunately because I got lost, the bus was arriving in 10 minutes and I was 15 minutes away from the place where it would pick me up. I ran like my life depended on it(it was the last bus and if I missed it I would have to climb the mountain) and arrived, thinking I missed it since it had been 17 minutes, but decided to wait a minute anyway. A few seconds later, the bus stopped. A perfect mix of athletic ability and good luck

I was in a car accident almost 11 years ago and ended up with some pretty severe injuries. Spiral break of both the bones in my right shin, a chunk of nerves and muscle was torn out of my left ankle where the brake pedal embedded itself into it, had shards of glass and metal going almost straight threw my left forearm, slipped a disk out of place between my shoulder blades and nearly ruptured one in my lower back, and broken ribs that punctured a lung and caused a laceration on my liver.
The bones in my leg didn't splinter when it broke so it didn't require surgery to fix, the glass and metal all missed the arteries and veins in my arm, the puncture in my lung was only about the size of a large needle, the laceration on my liver was the equivalent of a papercut, and the disks in my back didn't damage my spinal cord.
By all medical and logical accounts I *should* have died or at least have been paralysed from the waist down. Even the doctors weren't sure how I survived, let alone was able to walk again only a year later.
8:00 that herobrine gave me the chills

I was at greatwolf lodge and in the arcade, and spotted the unicorn from despicable me (the first movie) as a prize. Young me wanted to win that unicorn badly. So i went around playing as many games as i could until i ended up at this spinning wheel which offered a jackpot prize (a bunch of tickets) to whoever landed on it. Mind you those are extrmeely hard to win so i tested my luck. I spun a few times before hitting the jackpot. With that i had enough tickets to get my unicorn and was even able to yell that iconic line "Its so fluffy im going to die!"
I ipstill have that unicorn plush on my shelf in my room. One of my favorite moments at great wolf lodge.
Story 11: This is racism and sexism, taken to the OTHER side of the extreme. It sounds like if they knew he was a he, had a heterosexual relationship and was white, he would have lost the scholarship. This is as wrong as doing the opposite. I'm just happy it worked out for that guy in the end. But my goodness...
Here’s my story not as cool as others but I like it.
I was like 10 and decided I wanted to ride my bike. So I got on and the entire time I got this nagging feeling, something was wrong I was missing something.
I was missing a helmet.
I realized this maybe like 2 seconds before or after falling over, my head barely two inches from the edge of the concrete. Had I hit the concrete I could have really hurt myself.
I like how the AI bot mispronounces things and then the AI writes what the AI bot says writing what it said exactly not what it meant to be!
IDK if this counts because I have mixed feelings about it but I've avoided getting mugged by appearing intimidating. That's the explanation people have given me. I remember two instances from the top of my head.
1- I was like 22 (I think?) I was on a bus. I was standing in the middle since it was super crowded and some guys got on pointing their guns and everything. People were freaking out (there were kids, too), I thought they'd take my phone or something. I even got it out of my pocket but something came to me and I put it back in. When the guy collecting the stuff got to me he visibly recoiled and got off really quick. Neither I nor the people after me got mugged (People were looking at me). When I got off I helped a guy who was at the door to calm down and lent him my phone so he could call someone. He said the guy pointed the gun to his face. I waited with him until his parents arrived.
2- I was outside waiting for my sister to get home and some suspicious guys were coming at me (I know that sounds mean but where I'm from the crime rates are through the roof), they just looked at me for a second and turned around. My sister got home safely, thank God.
My mixed feelings come from the fact that it made me feel bad about myself. That I was (still am) going through depression doesn't help. I'm not even tall (I'm like 5'7", I think), or muscular. People say I'm intimidating nonetheless. Even in HS., my bullies recoiled when they saw me standing and scattered saying they were joking. I always thought they exaggerated or it was part of their mocking but no, they really thought I was going to hit them or something. I even got warned for that (That's a funny story for another time), and I was the quiet kid, mind you. But despite that, I still get all kinds of people coming to talk to me about everything, especially strangers,. So, where does that intimidating aura come from? I know it has helped me avoid some bad things but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
PS. BTW, since you said you were going to read the comments I want to ask. What happened to Very Sparked? No more spicy stories? Is everything all right? Hugs to you just in case.
I guess I have had some insane luck, towards the end of my 8th grade covid hit, I was failing a few classes but due to the lockdown all my grades were boosted up and I passed then in 10th grade, the exams were very important, I was a mess but all the exam marks were half of what it used to be, and since most were multiple choice I scored high and then those marks were doubled and I got above 90%.
As also a Canadian the second way you said Appalachian sounded so weird and just wrong
I am American and the second way sounds weird to me too
The company I was working for announced a shutdown due to financial reasons the LITERAL DAY BEFORE the covid lockdowns in the UK, they kept the company running on paper so we all received furlough payments (80%) for as long as possible and arranged for as many of us a possible to transfer to other parts of the parent company. I rejected the transfer opportunity, and the furlough extension meant I passed my 5th year with them so I got 10 weeks of (full) pay as a redundancy package. R.I.P Cycle Republic, but Halfords are solid.
Im convinced my dad is cursed with bad luck, the amount of stuff that breaks on him is absurd, his car caught fire on his birthday and he hadn't had his car back for about 3 months
This might be a bit of a childish story in some people's eyes, but to me it is everything I've ever dreamed of. Sorry, it's pretty long 😅
I've been dancing since I was 6 years old (I'm 21 now), mostly streetdance/hip-hop style. When I was in high school I didn't know what I wanted to do next. I'd been thinking of going to a dance academy since I'd always dreamed of doing so, but I felt like at that age I was not good enough at dancing to ever be able to do something with it professionally, and decided against it. Instead, I chose to do one year of communication at a uni of applied sciences (Dutch school systems are very different) so I could enroll into Korean Studies at a university afterwards. I've been a big fan of Korean pop music since 2017 and in 2018 I found A.C.E, one of my favorite groups to date. My music taste and general interest got me studying everything about Korea, and now in my 2nd year of the study, I was able to get a scholarship for a study abroad semester in Seoul as part of the curriculum since I just barely met the requirements. Now, I was actually supposed to go back home on the 11th of January aka about a week ago. However, a few days prior, A.C.E's agency posted about an event where 55 fans would be selected from an application (first come first serve) to participate, and while I did not think I'd be able to get in, I sent in an application anyway. However, just two days before my flight (I'd already been packing my bags) I received an email that I was chosen for the event! Originally I was no.56, but as one person got removed, I was allowed to join anyway. It was JUST in time for me to be able to reschedule my flight, cancel my hotel for the next day and ask my airbnb host if I could stay for 2 more weeks. The idea of the event is that the idols themselves teach us the choreography for their new, unreleased song (which happened last weekend, last practice this Saturday) and we will be in their official music video for about 40 seconds along with some other small benefits. The music video shooting will be this Sunday, and I'm super excited, because I've always wished I could do something professional with dance, and even if this was not the event of a group I've loved and supported for about 6 years, this would still have been a childhood dream come true. If I wasn't able to get the study abroad scholarship, if I didn't have enough money saved, if my plane had left just ONE day earlier, I would not have been able to do this. It's an insane experience and most definitely worth the few hundred extra euros it cost me!
I'm from Oregon and I say it the British way apparently... Appalachian... 😅

Back in 2018, I was in a gmc5500 with a 20bbl(840gallon) tank on it pulling drip from pipelines. I was on the highway to turn left, so I was stopped. Now this part was both luck and training. I had 3bbls of high H2S drip on. Both extremely flammable. Luck came in because the tank didn't rupture and explode. Training came in because the safest course of action was to just sit there and take the impact. If you're wondering why I didn't speed up straight, the vehicle that hit me was about 50 yards away when I saw it. Didn't have time to accelerate. All I did was close my eyes and make peace. I was expecting to be a goner. It's been 6yrs since that accident and I still can't figure out how I didn't go boom. I didn't come out completely unharmed though. My lower back is permanently fucked up, but I'm alive

I have lived in VA, where part of the Appalachians are. I have heard both, sometimes even from the same person. It really doesn’t matter lol.
Doesn't this mean someone will throw an apple atcha? That's what I've been told here in EKY.
I don’t know if this was the luckiest thing that happened to me but when I was a kid, I was playing musical chairs at a school that my older sibling went to at that time and I won a cake
one that comes to mind is that one night (few months ago) I was just walking my dog one more time before going to bed, I just happen to look up and saw a shooting star ( As soon I look up, bang that shooting star event took place.)(There was nothing on the news that was talking about this happening)
its both my luckiest day and unluckiest day, i found a four leaved cloverleaf once, it dried up under my possession before i could even give it the stuff it needs to survive, after that i got geniunely unlucky for 3 days, and got punishment for literally nothing, while someone else got luck. happened as a little kid

5:26 he was WHAT
Story 1)
I remember years ago when I was cycling home from the college bus and I crashed my bicycle at about 30mph next to a 40mph road, I don't remember what happened but I remember waking up, sat up on a traffic island(where pedestrians stand midway in crossing the road), between 2 curbs, an off duty fireman saw me as he was passing and came over to render first aid just as I tried to stand up, my friends came along a few minutes later, one of whom, FOUND MY TOOTH, 12ft away from where I landed, my bike landed by a gate about 12ft to the left, away from the 40mph road, I got rushed to hospital due to head injuries(no helmet), at the hospital, x-rays showed no bone damage, the only injuries I suffered, were split lips, a split tongue, missing tooth and road rash down one side of my face, they stitched me up and now I just have a couple of small scars and 2 fake teeth.
Story 2)
Months later, I was riding the same bike, I had replaced the trashed forks(damaged in the crash) and the left chain stay was cracked(also from the crash) by the wheel but it was holding, me and a friend rode out to a fishing tackle store, part of the journey was down a long, steep hill where we hit 50mph by the bottom, we made it there and back with no issues, when I got home, I rode up a dropped curb at about 2mph and the crack in the frame, totally gave out, all I could do was imagine what happened if it failed while going 50mph... If I was 18, I would have bought a couple of lottery tickets.
Story 15, you aren’t the only jealous one Narrator, I am also, by the way, I’ve been listening to your videos for a while now and love your voice, thank you for always making my day better when I’m at work

This happened when I was super young so I don’t remember it very well, but while skiing when I was like 6? I almost went straight off the mountain side, and the drop would have been enough to severely injure or kill me. I was skiing with my dad and started heading towards the edge of the cliff, but I couldn’t stop. Ended up doing some maneuver where I fell and slid on my side to stop. Kid you not I was dangling over the edge of that cliff, and my panicked dad was trying so so hard not to lose it while he pulled me back to safe ground.
Another story is when I was 4 and went to some monster truck rally thing (real southern I know-), and my dad had the brilliant idea to sit at the top of the bleachers with his two toddler children. Well, I just so happened to be small enough to slip through the opening separating the bleachers and fell right through while trying to sit on some weird chair my dad had brought. Fell about the height of a one story house and landed flat on my back. Random guy came to check on me and the next thing I remember is my dad bringing me to the EMS that were stationed at the event. They looked me over and I was completely fine, no concussions, no broken limbs, just a little bruising. Have no idea what prevented me from being seriously injured because if I had not landed on my back I would’ve ended up with broken bones, or I could’ve died.
Funny how both my lucky instances have to do with heights of some sort. Maybe the universe wants me to stop going up on high places, that or I’m just clumsy.
This just happened. My steering was slowly going out in my truck, but it was so gradual that I hadn't noticed it. One day my dad borrows my truck so my younger brother can work on getting his permit. They try to drive down the road, and my truck can barely make a left turn. You had to crank the steering wheel all the way over and it still barely made it. My dad drives the truck back to his house and looks it over. The frame next to the steering block was rusted out. He said I was lucky I hadn't crashed yet and that the steering could've gone out at any time. For some context, I drive an hour to the next town over for college on the highway, so if my steering went out on my commute it would not have been pretty. So my dad takes the rusted part of the frame out and welds in a new piece. He's giving the truck a once over before declaring it road safe, when he notices one of the ball joints for the passenger side front wheel is loose. Apparently the seal thing or whatever it is (i am not mechanic savvy) had corroded away and there was almost an inch of dead space in the joint. That wheel could have just popped out at any time. According to my dad it's a miracle I'm alive, because that wheel could have popped out from something as small as a minor pothole. Add the steering failure to the mix, and I have no idea how I was able to drive that truck for so long without one of those two things going out.

What doe OP stand for
#13. the IED one. you misunderstand what a military person would mean by "tired". they likely aren't talking 30 mins in line for the bathroom here. OP had quite possibly been on their feet for anywhere from 8-16 hours, little sleep, hours of walking and stressful combat situations. they also would have had to be on the ready to jump up and move from sleep at the first hint of active combat. so in that state, while definetly a stupid move, it is at least understandable how, what would otherwise be a very obviously stupid thing to do, it seemed like a good idea. granted you'd need the OP to chime in and clear up if they were just delusional from fatigue or if it was just a really close darwin award but my point being to not immediatly conclusions.
edit to clean up wording to not imply i have military experience. i do not. i am just an internet nerd.
