10 LUCKIEST People In The World

some people are lucky and some aren't that's just how the way it is sadly the sheer luck of these people today is nothing short of miraculous especially number one when you consider all his near brushes with death find out just who he is as we bring you the 10 luckiest people in the world number 10 terry priess who doesn't love oysters oysters are a beloved fine dining food highly sought after in restaurants and by cooks at home for their flavored texture and well sometimes even price in most parts of the world they are even thought by some to be an aphrodisiac and for that reason alone they are eaten in droves but if you're terry pries you'll find another perfectly good reason to love them and eat them every chance you get you see she was lucky enough to find an actual pearl in her oyster it's not like priests who hails from england if you were wondering bought highly expensive gourmet oysters oh no she bought her bags of oysters from tesco for 49 pence yet she still somehow managed to beat the million to one odds to find one of the pale treasures inside as for the real value of the pearl we're actually not quite sure however she has since turned that 49 pence pearl into a ring that's worth around 500 pounds number 9 lena paulson in 1995 swedish woman lena paulson removed her wedding ring setting it aside to do some christmas baking when she was done she went to retrieve her cherished ring only to find it was gone after literal years of searching she and her husband sadly came to the conclusion that the ring was lost forever that is until 2012 nearly 16 years later when lena found it again in the most unexpected of places while harvesting carrots paulson was shocked to find her a long-lost ring around one of the carrots an event so amazing it caused her to let out a scream that her daughter who could hear all the way inside the house thought that something bad had happened to her apparently this was the first time they'd planted carrots by simply throwing out the seeds at random across the garden instead of in rows like they've done before the chance that one of the seeds had landed inside the ring is like winning some sort of mini bottle ring toss contest at the carnival but lena couldn't care less about the astronomical odds of how she got back her ring she's just glad to have it back at all number eight bill morgan this next guy on our list may look like he's not really lucky at first as he was involved in a terrible accident but what happened to him afterwards is extremely amazing when his car collided with a trunk and he was crushed under the impact everyone thought it was the end of the line for australian bill morgan even the doctors gave up on him he was actually declared legally dead for more than 14 minutes yet he was somehow revived and managed to survive after only 12 days in a coma even after family removed life support if that wasn't lucky enough he then bought a scratch a card to celebrate his recovery and promptly won a car worth 17 000 australian dollars when the local news station heard about him and all his good fortune they were so impressed that they did a segment about him on the show they asked him to reenact the scene by scratching off another card only for him to win a whopping further 250 thousand dollars again during the live show number seven tsutomo yamaguchi during world war ii sutomo yamaguchi was an employee at mitsubishi heavy industries and his job required to travel all over the country he was on a business trip in hiroshima one day in 1945 the very same day the atomic bomb was dropped onto the city miraculously though when jody survived the blast afterward he quickly returned to his family and home in nagasaki like the model employee that he is he came to report to work the very next day after the bombing unfortunately while it worked the second bomb was dropped and yet he still survived throughout the rest of his life yamaguchi became a vocal protester against nuclear weapons and technology in 2009 japan officially recognized yamaguchi as a survivor of both atomic bombs dropped on japan making him the only person in the world officially recognized to have survived two nuclear bomb explosions mr yamaguchi lived a long life until the age of 93 and peacefully passed away of natural causes on january 4 2010. number six joan ginther did you know that you'd be more likely to get hit by a meteorite than win the us lottery that is if you're not as lucky as joan ginther genther actually made headlines around the world because she won four separate multi-million dollar prizes in 1993 she won a texas lottery worth 5.4 million in 2006 ginther won 2 million playing holiday millionaire in 2008 she won 3 million playing a game called millions and millions then in the year 2010 she won 10 million on a game called extreme payoff she's won so many times people actually think that she knows a method on how to increase one's chances at winning the lottery she was after all a mathematician after reverse when gentry became known in her small town of bishop texas for purchasing large numbers of scratch-off tickets in fact she sometimes went so far as to buy all the tickets of a particular game sold at her local convenience store so what do you think did you find a way to beat the system or is she just extremely lucky i'm going with kind of a little bit of both number five nichiren if you are a fan of the anime one piece you'll be familiar with this next story even though i'm quite sure that this is the first time you've heard of this man i'm pretty sure you'll find the similarities in their stories quite uncanny you see during the show's first season one piece's main hero monkey d luffy narrowly escaped execution via beheading when his executioner was struck by lightning the premise is too good to happen in real life well it actually did to a man named chirin during the 12th century nichiren was a prominent japanese monk who significantly influenced the japanese adaptation of buddhism however his life was one of controversy and turmoil he was sentenced to death by beheading and the authorities voted his writings were subversive and would undermine their power if it was allowed to spread however with a literal stroke of good luck nichiren managed to escape his doom when the executioner was struck and killed by lightning when he raised his sword to kill nichiren nichiren was later released due to the strange circumstances though he was still exiled and would later live the rest of his life out until old age number four martin de jong martin dejong is so lucky his luck didn't only save his life once but twice this 29 year old is a dutch cyclist competing for malaysia's tarangu cycling team because of this he gets to travel around the world to compete in cycling competitions in different countries that basically just means he rides airplanes a lot technically speaking air travel is actually safer than traveling by car but accidents do sometimes happen a couple of examples would be the unfortunate flight mh17 which was shot down in the ukraine and flied mh 370 the malaysia jet which vanished on 8th of march and which remains missing somewhere in the indian ocean amazingly martin was booked to be on both flights but somehow managed to avoid them he was hours away from booking the first flight when he decided to swap flights when he found something cheaper the same thing happened with flight mh370 but this time he opted to get on an earlier flight he was so close to boarding this doomed flight he was actually just waiting to board the plane when an earlier flight opened up number three edwin e robinson the odds of getting hit by lightning is one in twelve thousand so if you get hit by one you can consider yourself pretty unlucky but if you're a certain edwin e robinson the lightning bolt that hit him was a godsend robinson was wandering around outside in the field near his house swinging around his aluminum cane and then taking shelter under the only tree when it began to rain this was when he was struck by the lightning which floored him for 20 minutes he lay unconscious before waking up and stumbling back to his house going to bed for a very well deserved nap okay so he was struck by lightning and survived that already makes him extremely lucky but what you probably don't know is that robinson was blind and deaf and has been that way since he was involved in an accident in 1971. when he woke up that evening after he was struck by lightning he found that he could see and hear again something that still baffles medical practitioners at this very day [Music] now it's time for today's best pick [Music] which shows us a man about to fall out the window of a building luckily people were there to pull him back in it seems that the photographer was at the right place at the right time to catch this amazing photo either that it was all staged so is it real or staged let's find out next with number two leeway the one you're seeing hanging precariously outside the building window is a man called leeway and no his life is in no danger you see he is an artist and his works often depict him in apparently gravity-defying situations his work is a mixture of performance art and photography that creates illusions of a sometimes dangerous reality leeway staged that these images are not computer montages and works with the help of props such as a mirror metal wires scaffolding and acrobatics but exactly how much of his artist's acrobatics and how much is staged he actually wouldn't say but he definitely assures people that he was never in any danger while making these gravity-defying works of art before we move on

be considered the unluckiest man on earth you see frank cheated death seven times but that also means his life was in peril seven times as well his first brush with death was in 1962 while traveling in a train in january the train flipped off the tracks and fell into a freezing river he was rescued with only a broken arm and mild hypothermia then only a year later in 1963 during his first and last plane ride the plane lost altitude implemented to the earth crane was blown out of a malfunctioning plane door and somehow managed to land on a haystack unharmed if we list all of frank's brushes with death here we'll be here for hours let me just tell you that he survived a bus falling into a river accidentally shooting himself fiery car accidents and being hit by a bus but it's not all that bad luck for frank because on his 73rd birthday he won 1.1 million from the croatian national lottery so he's got that going for him do you know of any other extremely lucky people let us know in the
