    They missed the craziest part of the story: Bill Morgan (Double Lotto dude) was in a car accident, was clinically dead for 14 minutes, came back, was comatosed for over a week, and recovered. He went to get the first scratch ticket to celebrate not being dead/vegetable.

    When I was a little girl, around five or so, I was playing with my cousins at my grandparents house and running around a big concrete fountain they had in their yard. The bottom section that we were running inside had a wavy edge, each indentation only a few inches deep. Suddenly the fountain fell over, I fell backwards with my legs landing exactly in two of the indents, purely by chance. If I hadn't landed the way I did I would have without a doubt lost both legs, maybe my life. If I had larger legs that didn't fit so perfectly, same story. This happened fifty years ago and I'm still grateful for my good fortune.

    I have a rather recent, and ongoing, "good luck" story, but it ain't on camera, nor can it be. I got a new job a month-and-a-half ago, and in the first week, my mom picked me up from it every day precisely on time, including the times I had to work late. Once, I got off 17 minutes late, but she got there at that exact moment, because she was late getting back from Dallas. Another time, she left the house over 20 minutes late, because she was talking with a contractor, but I also had to work an extra 20 minutes that day. Then, my parents left town for a week to visit my great-aunt, and I had to walk to and from work. It started pouring rain halfway through the day they got back, so I didn't get wet. Last week, I got scheduled for only 3 days, and as I was bemoaning the lack of hours, my brother asked me to take care of his dog for the week, which I could do BECAUSE I had so few hours. It's so ridiculous that I don't even think it's luck anymore, but actually divine intervention.

(This was back in the 80s when no one was wearing them) That very day he hit a curb, went over the handlebars and hit his head off the ground. His helmet was destroyed but despite the shock he was able to laugh at his good fortune!

    These were great. Ty. My hubs and I darn near drowned in Hawaii (Kauai) in 12-14ft waves…took in water and became really out of it. Next thing I know i guess a gentle wave placed me on the shore along with my husband - we still have no idea how we got there because once we took in water we quit fighting - it puts you in a dream-like state because of oxygen deprivation. First thing I said when I could speak and lungs weren’t on fire was I guess I haven’t served my purpose or I’d have died out there. We found out later I was only 3 weeks pregnant with our 11 yo.

    Once i was cycling down a very steep hill in the countryside it was a one lane dirt road. Suddenly as i was zooming a truck appeared in the distance and took up the whole road. So i slammed on the breaks but the gravel didnt give much pull and i began to slide about 30 yard, as i came to the truck still sliding intensively there was a small gap between it and the hedge, intuitively i aimed for it, mounted a big mud bank and the bumps slowed me down.. but i managed to stay on the bike. Then i came out the other side and finally stopped about 10 yards on the road behind the truck. I was there for a little bit.. just in disbelief i was safe.. not needing to pry myself out of the truck bonet

    A lot of people are sharing their stories of luck so I'll give it a go.
    Years back my family and I were driving over Snoqualmie pass in Washington around Christmas time. It was snowing but not terrible but snow chains were required, which we had. We pulled over to the designated chain up area. My wife and I finished up and were about to get back in the car.
    Meanwhile, a large pickup truck going too fast and traveling too close slammed on their breaks and swerved out of control towards us while im standing outside the driver door and my wife on the other side of the car.
    It hit our back left bumper first. Pushed our car into my wife who landed backwards into a soft snowbank. The truck then spun clockwise forward, knocked me to the ground and roated around my body and not over it. The truck had enough momentum to also hit car in front of us while it was still spinning.
    I was able to walk away with a mild concusion, hurt knee and bruised ribs. My wife had tissue damage in her hand from where our car slammed into her but that's it. Our two children were unharmed as they were in our car buckled in their car seats.
    If the truck was a few inches more to the left, I would have been a grease stain on the snow.
    Drive carefully people.

    One of my lucky close call stories: I used to work as furniture upholsterer in one furniture manufactury company. I worked at the 2nd floor as upholsterer and the 3rd floor did all the frames of furniture and the way the frames were delivered to the 2nd floor is by using a conveyer belt, i stood at the side of it while there was the new guy who didn't know how to properly put the frame on the belt so it would stay while moving and so this frame fell of the belt and it dropped down like 1-2cm away from my head.

I called my partner to come and help me move the product (it was product for my business, they just delivered it to my house instead of the warehouse) and while he was home a massive earthquake hit (at 12.51pm) and the bank I would have been in and most of the surrounding buildings collapsed.

I didn't know how it all worked, I thought if I got a winning ticket I could choose which ever I wanted, and since I was a boy I said I'd like the piano. The lady there and my school friend explained me that ome has to actually get the ticket that had the number of the piano on it, to get it.. but nevertheless I bought my first ticket and it was that piano. I was stunned and happy that my whish has happened, but more stunned where my brother, my friend and that lady from the store. Merely seconds before I pointed to the piano and said "I want that if I win".

    When I was 10, I was on my holibobs visiting family in Ireland.
    One day, I went to a local 'mountain' with two cousins.
    Driving back along a one-track road, some arse in a farm truck came toward our mini.
    We stopped, they didn't.
    We thought they're gonna slow down, they didn't, and hit us full on.
    The mini was totalled and had done a few somersaults into the ditch.
    My cousins (driving and in the back seat) were a bit bruised and concussed.
    I was in the front without a seatbelt (this was '83), and didn't have a scratch.
    The truck driver was never found, the utter tw@.

    "Lucky People" from Ozzy Man always gives me high anxiety. That first double car and truck crash almost did me in. Wow, that guy is very lucky! Surely the woman with the stroller heard the tree growning and ripping before it crashed in front of her. Trees don't all of the sudden fall without a sound. She did keep looking in that direction and started walking close to the building. Jeez, seconds away from death.

    I was also extremely lucky once.
    Me and dad was at his job, along with an uncle and his son.
    The wind was extreme that evening and we were trying to close some gates there that had been blown up.
    On the one gate we tried using a metal pole across it, going through some rails on the two gate doors.
    At some point the wind forced them open again and the metal pole nearly hit the back of my had. It was probably just inches away.
    I could see it in my side view as it went behind me.
    I got shocked a relived when I started thinking I could've died if it had hit me.

      No idea what I was trying to do.
      But when I had just gotten out from under it, something snapped that held it up. And the platform smashed into the ground.
      If I had been under it, I would've probably have been flatten to death.

    Question: was my grandfather very lucky or unlucky?
    He was born into abysmal conditions after the great war and had to work as a child for food scraps and didn't have access to running water, electricity, or even a bed. The Germans invaded and freed him of the abusive landlord. He joined the army and had for the first time in his life all the luxury he ever dreamed of (for us pretty much the level we take for granted). Soon after, he was fighting the Russians and got shot in the outskirts of Stalingrad. He was sent home just in time before everything went to sh!t there. He recovered just in time to be reassigned and sent to Normandie, where an American bomb exploded right next to him, knocking him over. He managed to find an opportunity to surrender to a British unit and they patched him up. He had suffered multiple perforations and embedded foreign objects due to the fragmentation of the bomb. Two of the metal parts were not removable, even today, it would be utterly impossible. One of them was in his brain(!) and the other was stuck in his spine, close to his heart. The fact that he survived that, let alone was able to run and fight for his life is nothing short of a miracle. He died at 90 years.
    As a side-note, he was fully capable of working and raising my mother despite all his injuries, and what makes him stand out, even more, is that he went back to his life without any issues, whereas my other grandfather had gone through less and yet drank himself to death and both my grandmothers were severely mentally damaged. He had seen the horrors of war firsthand but never held any grudges. He visited Russia multiple times (and cheated on his wife there, but that's beyond the point).

      @@PinballBob1 I left out one detail: I'm pretty sure that he was a psychopath. It might very well be that the brain injury destroyed his prefrontal cortex. This would explain how he could live on so carefree, but also why he kept getting into conflict with authorities, had to smuggle things across the iron curtain at the height of the cold war, and cheat on his wife while neglecting to look after my mother...
      He was one of my favorite relatives. He was the only one that didn't give a F when they found out that I had fallen in love with an Indian girl and he was the only one willing to talk about the war and he did so in a matter-of-fact way without painting himself as the hero or victim.

There's so much to talk about, to laugh, but also to lament. He neglected my mother, but also saved her once. He got into prison for blowing up a pond in the city park to get some fish for dinner. He beat someone up with an illegal firearm because he scammed his wife. When I found an illegal firearm as a kid, and shot it, everyone went to cover, except him. He walked to me with no care in the world and asked me what I was aiming at and after I replied, he asked for the rifle and shot it in the center despite being a frail old man at the time.

    OK so here's a luck story from before I was born: my dad once owned a Ford Pinto - the ones that got recalled for exploding. He got into an accident with it. Bad enough that though he wasn't hurt too bad, he was trapped inside and the firefighters had to use power tools to cut him out. He was sitting there the whole time thinking, "Please don't explode. Please don't explode. Please don't explode." It didn't explode.
