As an anecdote, my friend's dad was once camping with a friend and lightning hit. His friend died, he did not although he, too, was struck by lightning. Years later he won a $5M home lottery.

I consider him to be the luckiest person I know. He has bad luck and good luck quite often, for no reason.




That reminds me of the Japanese fellow who was in Hiroshima when the bomb hit, survived, returned to work in his home town Nagasaki when the second bomb hit, survived, and lived until 2010. Talk about bad luck and good luck.
