Luck is a terrible thing to build a life around and a wonderful thing to read about. These are ten people whose luck ran so far past the normal range that the stories became famous — some for surviving what should have killed them, some for being handed a fortune, and a couple for both.

They are still here, because they are genuinely interesting — but with the holes pointed at rather than papered over.
