Can you share an example of an extraordinary stroke of luck you’ve heard about?
One extreme case of luck that comes to mind is the story of Frane Selak, a Croatian music teacher who is often referred to as the “luckiest unlucky man.” Over the course of his life, Selak survived a series of near-death experiences that seem almost unbelievable.
In the 1960s, he survived a train crash that killed 17 people. A year later, he was in a bus that skidded off the road and into a river, but he managed to escape just before it sank. In 1970, he survived a plane crash that killed 19 passengers when the door blew off mid-flight, and he parachuted to safety. He went on to have several other brushes with death, including being hit by a car and nearly drowning.
In an extreme twist of fate, after all his harrowing experiences, Selak won the lottery in 2003, netting around 800,000 euros. His story illustrates how luck can sometimes manifest in bizarre, extreme ways, blending tragedy with incredible fortune.
