Luck comes to the prepared, so the saying goes. But what does that even mean? Do you need to have the right mindset? Always expect good things to happen? As much as we’d like to, we can’t control every aspect of our lives, and luck is definitely something we can’t control. It’s a matter of chance. It’s a matter of luck. Have you ever had a stroke of luck that took you by surprise? Maybe you’ve found a bill on the street, or won an unexpected competition? The truth is, it can happen anytime, anywhere, to anyone – luck is mostly about being at the right place, at the right time. Although true in many facets of life, there are more than just a handful of people who figuratively (and probably even literally) struck gold just by being at the right place at the right time. The people on this list were fortunate enough to experience unforeseen levels of unbelievable luck, and they shared those lucky moments on social media. Is there any chance we can learn something from them? Let’s find out.

Hitting the Arcade Jackpot!
Some people have spent hundreds upon hundreds of dollars at arcades and haven’t made a return on their investment. This young lady has done what many have strived for in as little time as you could imagine. She’s just as shocked as anyone that her skills, or lack thereof, have paid off!
If you think she was shocked, you should have seen how her siblings reacted to her awesome prize haul. Needless to say, every child in the vicinity had no idea how she did it, and she probably couldn’t offer a reasonable explanation. It was pure luck, through and through, and her parents were there to immortalize the moment she won the arcade jackpot.
