Luckiest or UnLukiest Man In The World

It has been said that Franco Selak is the luckiest man in the world.  The 76 year old retired music professor won the luckiest prize around, the lottery.  What sets this lotto winner apart from others is the fact that he has almost died 8 different times.  He survived...
  • Being sucked out the back of an airplane, after it hit a mountain, only to land on a large heap of hay.
  • A train flying through the air and landing into a cold river. He rescued a woman before he passed out.
  • Being born early while his mother was on a small fishing boat and his father washed him with the cold water they were fishing in.
  • A bus crash into a river
  • A burning car...not once but twice before he was engulfed in flames.
  • And a collision with an armored vehicle driven by a UN peacekeeper. He fell from his car right before it rolled and exploded.
Now granted winning the lotto is pretty lucky, but I'm not sure almost dying 8 different times makes you lucky. He might be the unluckiest person ever. I mean the luckiest would seem to have one good thing happen after another.  This guy seems to have one bad thing happen after another. He just happened to survive them all. What are your thoughts...luckiest or unluckiest man in the world?

  4. Sounds like he has bipolar disorder, the kind where you either win big or lose big,

  5. Forget the lottery ... he is lucky to be alive... he needs to lock himself in his house... but it would probably just catch fire.
