What's the luckiest thing that's ever happened to you?

Not sure if it was lucky, or if an angel watched over me. I had an ''unauthorized'' trip with a Motor Yacht I took care for, and visited an unfrequented beach on an empty island nearby. I was a little careless and the boat got stuck on a coral bank with the falling tide (the corals were long dead already...) . Miraculously, it went to rest, avoiding nearby ''deadly'' sharp spots. I was stuck there for ca. 8 hrs until the tide came back. Only a few minor paint scratches on the boat, but a huge lesson learned.

Hmm. In terms of improbabilities I got dealt a king-high straight flush one time on the flop in live NLHE (no-limit Texas Hold'em). But as lucky and improbable as that was, I barely won anything in that pot since my opponents didn't hit the flop at all. I think I c-bet and most of the players folded and then by the turn the remaining players folded as well.

I got hit by a car speeding downhill as a small boy, hit the windshield and rolled over top of the car, and somehow managed to only get bruises and no broken bones. I suppose that was very lucky and improbable.

There are lots of nice things that happened to me in life but it's hard to label those as "lucky" since I can't figure out the odds of that happening or weigh it so easily against all possible alternative outcomes. So I'm usually thinking of "lucky" things as ones where there is a fairly set notion of a fair clear probability of one outcome as opposed to the other, with an extremely unlikely but favorable outcome being "lucky".
