That’s an amazing story! It’s like lightning struck twice for her, which really flips the old saying on its head. The fact that she had already won $25,000 years ago, and now this—talk about a lucky streak! I can’t even imagine how surreal it must be for her to have the kind of luck she’s had.

Her decision to take the annuity instead of a lump sum is pretty smart too, especially since she’s planning to share it with her daughters. Plus, extending the house and buying that Corvette sounds like a fun way to enjoy the winnings.

Do you think the whole idea of “good luck” is just a random streak, or do you think there’s something more behind it—like a mix of opportunity and timing?
