Luck comes in many different shapes and sizes. There’s, of course, the obvious—winning the lottery. Then there’s the more exclusive—being born into a rich and well-connected family. And then there’s more random ones, like stumbling upon a free ice cream giveaway or finding the perfect parking spot next to the store’s entrance.

We’re not sure how lucky the people from the list below consider themselves to be, but the pictures prove that they do have fortune on their side. From unexpected leg room, to seedless watermelons, to barely avoided accidents, the list below has quite a range. Scroll down to vote for your favorites.

I Got Her Back After Five Years

I Got Her Back After Five Years

I fostered her for 6 months five years ago and cried like a baby when I had to give her back to her people. I remembered her so fondly and talked always missed her. She would sleep with me every night. She was always there.
 
A few days ago the same person texted me asking if there was any way I could take her again, but permanently. How could I not say yes?
 
She remembered me and everything is already back to how it used to be. Five years difference, she's 16 now and in perfect health. I really hope that she loves the rest of her life with me. I feel so lucky to have her again.

I Run Down An Old Dirt Road. Trash Is Dumped There. One Day I Stopped And Found A Box Of Money

All the envelopes are from different countries all over the world. Mostly dates from the 1700s-1900s. The oldest is a coin from 1621. I’ve got some from countries that no longer exist. I’m still researching.
