14 Stories About People Who Are Definitely Loved by Lady Luck

There are stories that can’t be described in any other way than “sheer luck.” Some people find money, others, having missed a train, meet the love of their life. And you know what, let all the surprises in life be just like that.

• 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. © hippocratical / Reddit
• I decided to buy a refrigerator today, put money in my pocket and went to the store. I entered the store, they had big discounts on refrigerators, so I bought a vacuum cleaner too. Next I went to a fast food restaurant for my son. I picked up my order and got free French fries for 3 minutes of waiting. I bought sushi rolls for my wife for dinner and got a discount.
  So, I decided to buy a lottery ticket. Now I’m waiting for the draw. © albucid226rus / Pikabu
• My daughter is now in the age of repeating everything. She tries to reproduce everything she sees and hears around her. If she finds a wrapper or a piece of paper, she gives it to one of the family members with the words, “Here’s your money, go to the shop.”
  And today I’m walking around the playground, the child is exploring the neighborhood, then happily runs to me and says, “Here’s your money,” and gives me a $20 banknote. © Chitayuschaya / Pikabu

• I’m the girl who managed to pass a man’s “financial test.” A guy asked me out to a cafe. I habitually ordered food for the amount I had in my wallet. In the end, the guy offered to pay the bill 50/50, and I confidently said, no problem.
  We paid the bill equally, and the following day I received a huge bouquet and a note which said that I was the first woman in his life who after the proposed “50/50” didn’t make a fuss and didn’t run away from the venue. © Overheard / Ideer
• My younger sister is a crazy fan of one Spanish actor. Sometimes it gets absurd: she would participate in internet auctions to buy his hair or the napkin he used to wipe his mouth with.
  To be closer to him, she began to study hard in order to attend the Spanish university in the city where he lives. She’s learned Spanish, now speaks almost fluently. And so she enrolled in that university and rented a place close to his neighborhood. My mom rolls her eyes, but I’m very happy for my sister.
  Yes, she is obsessed with this actor, but this motivation helped her totally change her life. She’s been living in Spain for a few years now, she’s still a fan, and her new boyfriend is fine with this “competition.” Proud of her. © Overheard / Ideer
• My daughter went to the optical salon to choose contacts. She had her eyes checked there, got a prescription. She was about to pay, and they told her:
  — If you want to buy contacts now, the consultation is free.
  — Of course I do. That’s why I’m here.
  — What kind of lenses would you like to see? 1-day or 2-week lenses?
  — 2-week lenses, please.
  — We have a promotion on them today! First pair is free! Here you go.
  Free consultation, free lenses. A lucky day! © frolsvet / Pikabu

• My friend meet this girl in a bar, which he never does, and decides to see her again. Well, the date goes well and he gets lucky. They are cuddling afterwards, and she rests her head on his chest and notices an irregular heartbeat.
  This girl is a nurse and demands he go to the emergency room immediately. They made him have a major heart surgery right then and said in a day he would have died. He didn’t even know anything was up. © OuchLOLcom / Reddit
• 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. © Rough_Cut / Reddit
• The apartment where I spent my childhood was once rented by some macho: gold chain, shaved head. 5 years ago, my parents decided to renovate the apartment. They removed tiles in the bathroom and found a tiny niche. There was a package with $10,000 inside. © Podsheyshanno / Ideer
• I was still little then. We went to the woods to pick mushrooms. My brother and I climbed a hill to look around and found a hole with 3 puppies. We got excited and started petting them. Dad called us, we told him to join us.
  He looked at us, then at the puppies and... He threw the basket with mushrooms, grabbed us under his armpits and ran. We were really offended at him — the puppies were so cool, and he took us away...
  Daddy ran past Mom and shouted, “Run!” Mom followed him in confusion. We got to the car and heard a long wolf howl from the woods. Only at that moment that my brother and I figured out what puppies they were. © volchek1024 / Pikabu

• My boss is a lucky man. He finds money all the time: now $100, then $50. Knowing that other people’s money doesn’t bring happiness, he used to buy candy for our small team.
  Yesterday, I told him, “You haven’t found money for a long time.” And now I came to work and found 3 huge bowls of candy. Turns out he found $200 yesterday. There are eyewitnesses. © castabikxe / Pikabu
• Went to the doctor about my migraine. I had it every 3 months for an unknown reason. And it was really bad: reaction to light, sounds, smells... I can’t even describe that agony.
  The doctor, a young man, looked at me and said, “You need to start exercising and visiting a therapist.” I left him, thinking, “What rubbish he recommends, he’s a fool!” But after another attack, a load of pills and a week out of life, I went to Pilates. No migraine for 6 months! © Overheard / Ideer
• Once, my brother and I met girls on the seafront. I liked one of them and invited her home. I lived alone, and the house was a mess. The girl came in, freaked out and left.
  The next day, someone knocked on the door. I open the door and there she is with some other girls. They come in, she says, “You go to the room, you go to the bathroom, I’ll go to the kitchen.” And they start doing dishes, washing windows and floors, picking up rubbish.
  They finished, took the bags of rubbish, said, “This is how it should be,” and left. I was stunned. © Overheard / Ideer
• There was a raffle at my daughter’s nativity play a few years ago. They pulled my name out of the box and called me up to take the first prize, a big Christmas hamper. So I went up and as I stood there in front of everyone (about 300 people), the guy doing the draw pulled out the ticket for the second prize. And called my name again.
  It was a very funny, but very cool, moment. So I went home with 2 massive hampers of goodies that day. © fairypants / Reddit

And here’s another bunch of photos that prove some people can be insanely lucky.
