Anything particularly memorable happen to you by sheer luck?

...I was drafted during the height of the Vietnam War, I qualified as an expert with the M16 assault rifle, and my advanced training landed me as an adjutant...talk about the luck of the draw...!!!

When I was in Grade 6, the whole class played a pen-and-paper game of battleships. Two students soared ahead, taking out at least one ship from almost every other student. I was sitting on zero points when the game ended, to be completed the following day, and with only a couple ships of mine still intact, and constantly targeted by one of the two leaders. (There were about seven students plus the teacher playing). Even the teacher said that I had very little chance of winning, as the leaders had something like 30 points each, and third place had 18 or so.
The next day, the two students who were leading didn't show up! With them out of the game, there were no dominant threats to me, so I immediately went after the former third place getter, and then another one who had only one ship left at the end of the previous day. Still, nobody classed me as a threat, so they kept targeting each other... until suddenly I was sinking ships everywhere. And since nobody had paid much attention to me, they hadn't been taking note of where my ships were, so everyone was missing. The last competitor was the teacher himself, and he only had a tugboat left. I won the game with over 40 points, and two and a half ships remaining.
