What's the best luck you've ever had?

I just found 100000won in my sock draw and seen as there's been so many 'serious' threads here recently I though this would be a bit of fun!!!

I was so desperate for bacon I was going to take a KTX ride to the nearest Costco, then I found some at the import store here.  I dropped 50K on bacon that day and felt like a king.

50K on bacon! Don't they sell bacon at your local E-mart or Lotte mart or whatever large mart is in your town?

I presume he is non-American, cos we have really different bacon in Europe, OZ, NZ etc so maybe he wanted this. (I Presume!!!)

Just goes to show I'm not a fan of bacon - it all tastes the same to me.

The best luck I had in recent memory was when I needed to catch a taxi to the airport in my home country. As I was about to get on, a desperate lady shouted out if anyone was going to the airport as she needed to get there in 20 minutes. I told her I was and we took the taxi together to the airport. She thanked me by footing the taxi fare. It was a win-win situation, she got to the airport (barely on time) and I got a free taxi ride.

Best luck I had was when my wallet with everything in it (50kwonish, credit/debit cards, alien card...) magically appeared in my mailbox :)  runner up was winning the first poker tournamenet i played and probably the only one i will ever play at walker hills1.5ish years ago. 220k buy in and 9 hrs later for a 3mill return :) thinking about it, maybe that's the best luck i've ever had. 

The best luck I ever had were:
1) Not marrying then (when I was in my 20s) and now (34), because if I had gotten officially committed, I wouldn't have been able to see as much of the world as I have seen and experienced up to now;
2) Went on an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas!
3) A private school in Saudi Arabia paid my entire salary for almost a year, while I waited for my visa to be processed--I stayed in Canada and did "nothing," but my passport was mysteriously withheld somewhere else...
4) Friendships with the locals in each of the countries I've lived and taught in--these are people who will go out of their way to help me.
5) Possessing a Canadian passport and being able to speak English clearly has enabled me to teach EFL abroad, so that I could re-pay debts and still be able to live comfortably and see the world. Today, I am debt-free. 

Getting my fantastic Public School job after being dumped by the after-school program I had signed with 2 weeks before my previous contract was ending.

I was running very late for an eye appointment in the Kangnam (in Seoul).  I planned to go to Suwon Station, then take the subway to Kangnam Station.  I got on a bus that I assumed was an express bus to Suwon station.  However, it soon turned off the main road.  I had no idea where it was going, not even if it was headed north or south!  So, where did it turn up fifty minutes later?  At a subway station that was only four stops away from Kangnam Station!  A much better route than I had planned to take. :)

Maybe that doesn't sound very exciting, but when I found out where I was, wow...  It felt amazing!

Nope.  And it was a LOT of bacon, my freezer is full of it.  I learned my lesson, always buy something when you see it because it's probably not going to be there when you go back.

Last night was pretty good.
In our weekly poker game one of the hands where I massed many chips!
To cut to the chase on the river I bet and the other two in the hand called.
They didn't turn their cards over but stated they had a straight and thought it was a 3 way chop.
I said I have a straight too and started raking the chips in my direction.

The board: 4D 6D 2D 2C 3S
Moi: 3D 5D

(Yeah, I know gambling is illegal that's why we only play for chips )
