The luckiest zodiac sign
According to the so-called luck zodiac, the luckiest sign is called Aries. Whether a person’s luck generally depends on his zodiac sign or not - there are different opinions. Some argue that only a person himself can make himself lucky, but there are those who believe that a person is born unlucky or lucky.It has been found that Aries most often wins in various draws. Also, people of this sign are often very successful in their careers; they manage to cope with almost any given task. They are accustomed to perceive life itself as an interesting game.
The luck horoscope states that Aries' success in games and practical jokes is related to their perception of the game process. They are interested in the process itself, the feeling of excitement and the resulting adrenaline, and not winning.
Aries is patronized by the planet Mars, as you know Mars is the invincible god of war. It is possible that this also affects the fact that Aries are very lucky people. Another area of luck for Aries is financial. Financial issues, which are considered difficult to solve for many, are solved by them without any difficulties. Having added all the above factors, the luck horoscope concluded that it is Aries who are the most lucky in life.
The luckiest woman in the world
Having gathered to find out which of the women is the happiest and luckiest, applicants should not be looked for at all in an aristocratic society and not among those who are engaged in show business. The luckiest person in the world is a simple Englishwoman who has been unemployed for a long time. In the past, she is a bank employee. Due to health problems, she had to leave her job. Her last name is Liz Denail.When a woman had a lot of free time, she began to participate in various lotteries and contests. To my surprise, the prizes literally rained down on her. Liz always won without difficulty.
Her whole apartment is full of prizes. According to the "lucky woman", thanks to the sale of unnecessary prizes, she lives comfortably. She managed to win a home theater, LCD TV, a variety of household appliances, game consoles. Once she even went on a trip, thanks to the five-day tourist package she received as a prize in Kenya.

The existence of people like Liz Denile inspires confidence that there are still very lucky people in the world.
The luckiest names
Scientists and sociologists decided to find out which names are the most lucky. They examined male and female names separately. The happiest and luckiest woman is considered to be the one whose name is Elena. Even in Russian folklore, everyone knows Helen the Wise. Most often, it is Elena who becomes the leader; women named Elena usually have large savings. 
Elena always confidently moves up the career ladder. According to research by sociologists, fortune favors the same Helens. If we consider luck from the point of view of quickly achieving material well-being, then the leaders here are women named after men, these are Evgenia, Valentina and Alexandra.
A study of male names yielded interesting results. Alexander and Boris are recognized as the most successful names, because their names are translated as “protector” and “glorious in struggle.” The greatest success for Boris and Alexander is ensured in business; they often have a prominent position in society. For these men, work comes first.
The names Dmitry and Sergey also bring good luck to their owners. They know how to find compromises, build dialogues, and always move confidently towards the goal. It turns out that when naming your child at birth, you need to approach this issue seriously. After all, everyone wants their child to become the luckiest and happiest in the world.
The luckiest man in the world
There is a person who has been lucky throughout his life. This is a music teacher from Croatia. His last name is Frayn Selak. The whole world learned about him in 2003, when he bought a lottery and won a million dollars. This lottery ticket was the first that Frain had purchased in forty years. Since then they started talking about him as the luckiest man on earth. 
As it turned out, luck “has followed” him all his life. He was in seven disasters where there were casualties, but always remained unharmed. He fell along with a derailed train into icy water, fell from the opening door of a flying airplane, and was a passenger in a bus that flew off the road into a river. He also got out of a burning car shortly before the explosion, was hit by a city bus and jumped out of the car, which then fell off a cliff. It's amazing that all this happened to one person. He goes by the nickname "Lucky".
The proverb “fools are lucky” often proves true. And the smartest people in the world have to work hard to achieve success. According to the site, Englishman Daniel Tammet learned to divide and multiply multi-digit numbers at the age of four after an attack of epilepsy.

Frane Selak escaped death seven times

Seventeen passengers died, but Selak escaped with bruises, abrasions and hypothermia. A year later, Frane was in a plane crash. When the plane crashed, the passengers had no chance of salvation, but a fatal accident occurred: a door in the airliner opened on its own, and the man fell out of the burning plane.
He fell into a haystack and thus survived. After this, fate did not test the man for 3 whole years. And then Frane went on a trip - and a bus with tourists fell into the river. Miraculously, Selak survived. Then there was a burning car, a burn to the head, an accident and a car accident - but by some miracle the Croatian remained alive. Selak considers his latest luck to be winning the lottery - the man received almost 600 thousand pounds sterling!

Luck can smile on anyone, but no one knows when and under what circumstances this will happen. However, there are people who are literally gifted with luck and luck. It is these people who can find themselves even in the most difficult situations, from which there seems to be no way out, and get out of the current situation without much stress. Therefore, our rating will show how fate can play with people’s lives, ultimately rewarding them for multiple experiences and stress.
People who have been on the verge of death: nothing but luck
We are surrounded by many people who have their own problems, joys and life stories. But it’s probably not every day that you meet a person who was truly on the verge of death and nothing more. In fact, such people still exist, because their most interesting stories were made public by journalists, so the whole world now knows about these lucky people.
Sixteen times lucky John Line
This man is truly the luckiest, because he managed to save his life even after many cases in which his life was endangered. And it all started in early childhood, when John landed unsuccessfully on the ground while falling from a tree. This led to the boy's arm being broken, which in itself is not a mortal danger. And the ambulance in which the guy was traveling for medical help got into an accident and John only miraculously survived.
This marked the beginning of further troubles in the life of this man, which, however, only strengthened John and did not allow him to become disillusioned with himself and life. And this despite the fact that soon 3 more accidents happened to him, a disaster in the mine. And a lightning strike completely eliminates the randomness of the events happening to John and indicates that fate has firmly taken hold of this guy, constantly throwing him new challenges, from which John skillfully emerged. So, this man is one of the luckiest in the world, since so many incidents did not deprive him of either his life or his faith in luck.
William Post: life from millionaire to pauper
And, although William really lost his money and was left with nothing, he still made it into our rating. And all thanks to the fact that this person is simply the luckiest. Even if only because he won 16 million dollars in the lottery. But as you know, money does not always make a person’s life happy, because it is not only and not so much thanks to material well-being that people can be happy.
So, after winning the lottery, William took the money he received too frivolously, so he was unable to hold such a large amount in his hands, and even drove himself into debt. This happened, as Post himself later admitted, due to the fact that he was too kind to his family, to whom he gave most of the winnings.
Another important fact from Post’s life is the attempts on his life, because where there is a lot of money, there is always room for envy and the desire to take away the winnings. But this did not become a decisive factor in William’s life, and he died not at the hands of a killer, but from respiratory arrest at an advanced age. So, he can really be considered the luckiest on earth, since he experienced everything in life: the joys of wealth, betrayal, and failure. Agree, not every person manages to live life so colorfully and diversely.
Frayne Selak: Lucky Loser
This person’s entire life is literally riddled with accidents and emergencies. What troubles did this man have to take part in before fate rewarded him for everything he had experienced? This Croatian has spent his whole life accustomed to getting out of the difficulties that fate throws at him.
He was involved in accidents of various sizes many times and each time he received only superficial wounds that did not affect Frein in any way.
Frayn Selak is one of the happiest people He had to get out of cars that were burning, drowning, and driving at full speed straight into the abyss. And every time he succeeded. Apparently, Selak has nerves of steel and an unshakable character, because all these accidents did not break him, but only hardened him.
And then, shortly after one of Frein's car accidents, he learned that he had won the lottery. And, moreover, a very tidy sum - a whole million dollars. The Croatian managed to manage this money properly, and unlike the previous lucky one, he did not waste it in vain.
“Unlucky” or people who continue to live despite the circumstances
Who said that luck is about getting something (money, a house, a car)? It must be said that the people in question can be called lucky only because they saved and did not acquire. And they saved nothing more than their own lives. This is how, despite fatal diseases, infections and other circumstances, these people continue to live and prove by their own example that life itself is luck.
“Nuclear” mission of Tsutomu Yamaguchi
The working visit to Hiroshima became the most dangerous for the Japanese in his entire life. By fateful coincidence, Tsutomu was in Hiroshima on the very day when the American air force dropped an atomic bomb on the city. The man at that time was only a few kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion, and therefore suffered from radiation. But the most important thing is that Yamaguchi remained alive.
However, just a couple of days later he was destined to survive the second American bombing, this time of Tsutomu’s hometown - Nagasaki. Ironically, the man was sitting in his boss’s office during the second bombing and telling all the details of what happened in Hiroshima. This is perhaps the only person on earth who survived two nuclear disasters.
Violet Jessop: stepping on the same rake...
This stewardess, who worked on the largest and most expensive water liners in history, survived the accidents associated with them three times, but still returned to work after each crash.
Probably Violet worked according to the call of the soul, otherwise how to explain her stubborn return to work as a flight attendant after the crash of first the Olympic, then the Titanic itself, and later the Britannic.
In all three cases, the ships received serious damage, as a result of which they could not ensure the normal evacuation of people. Therefore, each disaster took the lives of many people. But not the life of Violet, who, despite the impending threat, was able to escape from three ships and remain unharmed.
Video about the luckiest people in the world
Thus, these true stories say that there are people on earth who are the luckiest, because neither life circumstances, nor health problems, nor disasters, nor even the destructive power of natural elements broke them. Remember: nothing is impossible and you can always receive a gift from fate.
Surely many will agree that life is a complicated thing. No matter how trivial it may sound, it is true. Luck is our faithful assistant. For some, it helps them move up the career ladder, while others are more fortunate in their personal lives. However, there is also luck, which many people consider simply a lucky coincidence, an accident. However, when a person’s life hangs by a thread, when one wrong step, one wrong movement or even a spoken word can become an early end to one’s stay in this world, absolutely everyone expects some kind of miracle, which is the above-mentioned luck. Few people manage to cheat death at least once. However, there are those who managed to fool the old woman with the scythe several times. Such people are often called “darlings of fortune.”
Frane Selak - an 88-year-old retired music teacher from Croatia, the hero of this article - belongs to such a small group of lucky people who succeeded. According to him, he managed to deceive fate 7 times, surviving several accidents and disasters, while escaping with only minor injuries. Some of the rescues were so miraculous and unimaginable that they ended up in the famous Guinness Book of Records. And in his old age, the reward for all the trials life presented to him was the large sum of money he won in the lottery. Why isn't he the luckiest person in the world?!
short biography
Frane Selak was born in 1929 in what was then Yugoslavia. The birth of the future lucky guy happened quite unexpectedly and in an unusual place. The birth took place... in a boat during one of the child's father's fishing trips, which he often went on. The baby was also born at seven months old. The seaside holiday was immediately interrupted. The child's condition did not inspire optimism. The baby was born weak and was on the verge between life and death. The parents took the baby to the hospital, but they decided that the boy could not be saved. But the mother had no intention of parting with her newborn baby. She wrapped him in a shirt and took him to the church, sprinkling him with holy water. Only after this the child’s condition began to change in a positive direction. Thus, the hand of Lady Luck already touched the shoulder of the future unlucky lucky man. Since childhood, Frane was interested in music, so the choice of his future profession was naturally connected with this area of art. He became a music teacher and director of a children's choir. However, fate prepared for him many deadly trials, which certainly did not allow him to call his life boring.
Case one. Train story
Frane Selak's games with death began in 1962. In January of that year, he was traveling on a train heading from Sarajevo to Dubrovnik. Due to icing on the railway tracks (it was bitterly cold), the train derailed and crashed into an ice-covered river. 17 people became victims of this disaster. Selak miraculously managed to survive; he escaped with hypothermia, bruises and a broken arm. In addition, he saved the life of one elderly passenger.
Case two: airplane
Another unpleasant incident in the life of a Croatian music teacher was an incident on an airplane in 1963. What happened then? A Douglas DC 8 jet airliner was flying from Zagreb to Rijeka. Frane, not indifferent to the fair sex, decided to have an affair with the flight attendant, unfastening his seat belt. Suddenly the cabin depressurized and the plane door flew open. It turned out that due to dense fog, the Douglas DC 8 accidentally touched a mountain ledge, which is why the cabin door opened. Some of the passengers were sucked out, including the flight attendant with whom the music teacher wanted to get to know each other better. Lovelace Selak also fell out of the plane. 19 people became victims of this tragic incident. Frana was miraculously lucky enough to fall on a large haystack and escaped with fright and abrasions. The flight attendant was also lucky: she fell onto the leafy part of the tree. True, it was not possible to get to know the girl better. But he remained safe and sound. This amazing incident was included in the Guinness Book of Records.
Case three. No luck with buses either
The next “adventure” of the Croatian music teacher occurred in 1966. This time the trip on the bus, which was heading to the city of Split, was unsuccessful. The driver lost control and the bus crashed into the river. Four people became victims of this tragedy. Frana Selak managed to get out of the bus and reach the shore. And again he escaped with shock, bruises and abrasions.
Case four. Is a car safer?
After 3 previous unpleasant incidents, Frane Selak decided not to take any more risks and started driving his own Skoda car, believing that driving on his own would be safer. Do you think it worked this time? Not at all. In 1970, traveling by car turned into another unpleasant incident. On the highway, his car suddenly began to smoke and then completely caught fire. Frane, without hesitation, immediately rushed out of the car. Seconds later, he watched his car's gas tank explode. And once again I managed to escape with a few abrasions and a slight shock. Frane’s surprised friend, who learned about this incident, could not stay away and uttered a rather memorable phrase: “You are either the unluckiest or the luckiest person in the world!”
Case five. And again I got off easy
The next incident in the life of the unlucky lucky guy happened because of his own mistake. In 1973, there was an unsuccessful attempt to repair the car, as a result of which the fuel pump failed, and Selak was doused with a small portion of fuel, which instantly caught fire. Frane did not receive any severe burns, except for his burnt hair. Got off easy, as they say.
Case six. The troubles continue
The next episode in the fate of “fortune’s favorite” is one that happens every day in the life of almost every ordinary citizen of our planet. The year was 1995. More than 20 years have passed since the last incident, and Frane Selak considered that the dark streak of incidents in his life had ended. But it was not there. This time in Zagreb he was accidentally hit by a bus. Fortunately for the 66-year-old Croatian, he again escaped with only abrasions and fear.
Case seven. Oh, this Skoda...
The last unpleasant incident in the life of the luckiest man in the world occurred in 1996. And again behind the wheel of the ill-fated Skoda car. This time Frane made a trip through the mountains, through a narrow gorge. Suddenly, after turning, he saw with horror that a UN peacekeeping truck was rushing towards him at high speed. Selak turned sharply to the side and crashed through the fence with his car. The car hung on the edge of a cliff. Horvath jumped out of the car just seconds before his car crashed to the bottom of the gorge, where it exploded. And this time it ended with fear and scratches. Frane Selaka's life was saved by the fact that the seat belt was not fastened.
Further fate
Today, the luckiest man in the world is 88 years old. He is a retired music teacher and lives in the town of Petrinja, south of Zagreb. Life presented him with many unpleasant surprises. However, at the end of this path of “luck”, real luck awaited him. In 2003, Frane Selak decided to try his luck in the lottery. As a result, he hit the jackpot, winning an amount equal to $1 million. An unheard of reward for long trials by fate. Some would immediately run to put such money in the bank, while others would start spending it.
Frane Selak, who was 74 years old at that time, decided that he was too old to put money aside. In addition, the old Croatian was literally up to his neck in debt. And no one has canceled the passion for travel. Having paid off his debts, he spent most of the money on a new house, car and boat, and also got married for the fifth time.
In 2010, tired of traveling, Frane returned to Petrinja, sold what he had bought earlier, had a hip replacement operation, and donated the remaining amount to charity. Today, the 88-year-old pensioner is once again swimming in debt. However, the luckiest man in the world does not at all regret the money he wasted left and right. He considers that lucky win a kind of gift for the trials that he had to endure. Including for saving the life of an old woman when a train derailed in 1962.
Personal life
As mentioned above, Frane Selak was never indifferent to the fairer sex. Just look at the incident on the plane, which only miraculously ended well for him. Not counting his numerous affairs, he was married four times, but all marriages ended in divorce after some time. The last, 5th marriage was concluded in old age, some time after that largest monetary win, and the man is still happy. His fiancee's name is Katharina. She is 20 years younger than Frane. The Croatian pensioner himself considers his wife the biggest success in his life.
