Luckiest People Facts
24. Yakety Sax
A Belgian man named Adolphe Sax faced several near-death experiences during his childhood, including falling (both from a height of three stories and into a river), being burned in a gunpowder explosion and by a hot frying pan, and surviving poisoning, suffocation, and the swallowing of a pin.
His mother once said that "he's a child condemned to misfortune; he won't live." He did, however—long enough to invent the saxophone.
23. One Carat Each
Both Mary Grams and Lena Påhlsson lost their wedding rings—Grams in Canada in 2004, Paahlsson in Sweden in 1995.
Years and continents apart, they both found them in the same place—in their gardens, on carrots that had grown straight through the rings.
22. Jackpot Jackpot
Very few people know what it’s like to win the lottery. Virginia Fike may be the only person who knows what it feels like to win the lottery twice in one day. Using the same numbers, she won two $1 million dollar jackpots in 2012.
Those are some lucky numbers!
