Imagine almost dropping your car keys into the sewer, but getting saved or getting a free Business Class upgrade. While it may sound pretty unrealistic, some people out there were blessed with the greatest luck when they needed it the most and they shared their experiences with the world.
Bright Side found 18 stories about people who got so lucky, we wish we were them.
1. “My daughter was born at 1:14 west coast time, making it 10/11/12 13:14.”
