When it comes to winning the lottery, you have a better chance at getting struck by lightning. Winning the jackpot has odds of 1 in 175 million. So basically, winning the lottery is a remarkable feat. Success stories from the lottery and scratch off tickets usually consist of a person who goes and buys their ticket, and wins immediately. It’s the stereotypical fairytale that leads a person to a life of wealth and luxury. But the people in this video won the lottery through extraordinary circumstances that defy all logic. It is enough to inspire anyone to try to win the lottery through this unique means, even though they are extremely rare and likely impossible.
For example, take the story of Bill Morgan, who was living in Australia as a truck driver. In 1998, after he was in a terrible accident, he was declared dead for 14 minutes before being revived. But then he was in a coma for 12 days, and was placed on life support. His family was facing the decision to shut off the machines when he came to and he quickly recovered. A year later, he bought a scratch off ticket and won $17,000. Then after the media found Morgan’s incredible story of defying death and winning the lottery, they bought him another ticket so that he could recreate the moment on camera. While filming, Morgan actually won $170,000 from the ticket.
