Lady Luck has a sense of humor. The odds of being struck by lightning or winning the lottery are very slim.

The Canadian man survived a lightning strike when he was a kid.
And now, after buying lottery tickets for about a year, McCathie has struck it big. He won a million dollars.
He's not gambling with the winnings. He's taking his wife on a second honeymoon.
