33 of the Luckiest Moments People Have Had

‘My stolen car passed me on my left’
33 of the Luckiest Moments People Have Had

If luck were distributed evenly, it would no longer be a phenomenon. I’m reminding you of this fact now, because the following stories will stir jealousy deep within you. You’ll wonder why it wasn’t you who found a pair of mint condition Levi 501s that sold for $20,000 on eBay. You’ll want to know why it wasn’t you who called a beer company’s customer service line on a whim and won an all-expense paid trip to Vegas for yourself and three friends. 

But don’t give up hope yet. One guy missed the train and met his future wife during the 10 minutes he waited for the next one, while another guy won two free ice cream cones in the same day. 

The possibilities are endless.

4mo ago I booked a trip from Venice to Paris on the Orient Express as part of my 25th wedding anniversary. For only the second time ever it failed to arrive at its destination and they had to fly us on to Paris from Basel which is as close as we got. We got the whole trip refunded and 50% off another one. Everything, from the bar bill, the champagne, everything free. What did we miss on the trip?, just an hour and a half of train ride and pulling into Paris with everyone staring. 7 Reply ...

the_middle_way 8y ago On a honeymoon cruise with my wife. I bought a watch from the ship's jewelry store, and on the day I bought it, the store was having a giveaway for customers who bought a watch that day alone. Essentially, the store would refund the cost of the watch, and you got to keep the watch for free. We hung around for the drawing, and I won the giveaway. I got around $100 back. Immediately afterwards, we went to play the ship's nightly bingo game. I then won the jackpot game, which was $600! That extra $700 paid

Rough_Cut 8y ago . Edited 8y ago My mother gave me a very nice necklace. One morning I went to scratch my neck and I didn't feel it. I guess I didn't put the latch on properly and it fell off, so I got super bummed out because it was really nice. A few hours later I found it in my shoe. It fell down my shirt, down my pants (with a belt), and into my left shoe, which had been tightly laced. 2.9K ...
robokeys 8y ago Lost my college ID card. A replacement was $15 I had found out.

joemethenybbq 8y ago when i was 5 or 6 my grandpa took me to the horse track a lot. one time he let me pick the three horses i thought would win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Needless to say, he won a trifecta.

8y ago . Edited 8y ago - I got hit by a semi truck while driving 75mph down the highway. Rolled 6 or so times and landed right side up in the ditch with not so much as a scratch on my, my fiancee's, or my friend in the back seat's body. Car was fucked though.

cali_grown22 11y ago When I was a kid, my mom and I were at an arcade and I found a $20 bill on the ground. As if that isn't lucky enough, I used the tokens I got from that money for some games. On one of my first tries, I won the jackpot of about 500 tickets on the game where you have to press the button just as the middle light lights up. I used it to get this awesome dolphin thing (like this http://i.imgur.com/zt7FGaw.jpg) Looking back, I realize it's sad that this is the luckiest thing that's happened

rwalsh138 4mo ago My buddy and I were maybe 16 years old, we took a very large pumpkin and rolled it down a big hill. Much to our distress, we noticed a man came walking across the street at the bottom of the hill, and the pumpkin was sure to collide with him, possibly injuring him, could have completely broke his ankles. The pumpking WENT THROUGH HIS LEGS AS НЕ WALKED, and he DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE that it happened, and kept walking. It was the most shocking thing I'd ever see. 153 Reply ...
hippocratical E 11y ago I was in a foreign airport, running late, and just missed the damn train - like the sliding door slammed on my foot. Had to wait 10 minutes for the next one. Got chatting to a girl. Now married for 6 years. + 3.2K ...
objectiverelocation 4mo ago I got a check in the mail for $19k. It was a check from the state where I was living, reimbursing me for an unclaimed account. It arrived just a few days after my baby was born and I was out of work, about to relocate and unsure when I would work again. No one in my family could figure out where it came from. I still think it was one of my grandpa's bank accounts that he had listed me as a beneficiary, and he was sending a gift to my baby from the other side.
MastadonBob 11y ago в I was at a mall and heard a woman scream from the upper level. I turned around, looked up....and reflexively caught a toddler who had somehow managed to squeeze between the iron safety rails and fallen literally on top of me, a good 20-25 feet below. Perfect catch, not a scratch. I've replayed this in my head dozens of time and still to this day do not know how the hell I did this. + 3.3K ...
banjolier 8y ago Edited 8y ago I won a PS4 from Taco Bell... ... ..twice. Edit: I've eaten Taco Bell once per contest since I won the first time. The first time was a launch bundle I won off a box code I got when coworkers dragged me for lunch. The second was the white Destiny bundle I won with the free code they bury in the rules. I gave that one to a friend so I had someone to play Destiny with. + 9.3K ...
HarryColonicJr 11y ago I had my car stolen when I was 19. A few months later I was driving my new car from Seattle to Portland at 3am, no other traffic around, and my stolen car passed me on my left. I followed the guy for about 120 miles back to Portland. At one point he pulled beside me and waved at me, thinking we were road- rally pals! I returned a death stare. Followed him home, called the cops and got my car back. When I think of what had to align for my car to find me again,

TommyToughNuts3 8y ago I lost my phone while we were laying pipe at work. Filled in the trench and then realized I had lost it somewhere in the 60ft of trench we dug. Left it there overnight seeing as it was already dark and I couldn't hear it when I called it. Returned the next day with listening equipment. Took an extremely lucky guess on where it was and located it within 30min. Dug 2 1/2ft down to find that the only damage was a small crack on my screen protector and a scuff on my Otter Box.

Wookie-fish806 4mo ago I was in college and you know with being a college student we're tight on budget. I accidentally dropped a hundred dollar bill and was devastated and told my mom about it. She called the store, Walmart, and ask around about the bill. Sure enough, some kind person found it and gave it to one of the employees and I was able to get it back. 6 Reply ...
