[ WP ] Everyone gets lucky exactly seven times in their lives , someone just had them all occur on the same day .

They say that we only get lucky seven times in our lives. My parents always told me they their two luckiest days in their lives were the days my sister and I were born. 
 
 Before today, I'd never considered myself lucky, I got by through highschool with no incidents while most of my friends had experienced at least two by the end of their schooling. Me? Well I experienced all seven today. 
 
 It all started this morning, I was getting ready for work just like every other day for the past few years. I work in a boring IT company, everything is monotonous, but I'm getting a head of myself. Each morning I'd make my morning commute to work, it was raining and so I decided to change my routine up and instead of staying in the middle lane, I'd decided to take a left and go a different way to work. As the light turned green the my car stalled, thinking nothing of it I tried restarted it and just as I was about to turn a car ran the red light, if my car had n't have stalled I would have been hit by a speeding car. 
 
 Still shaken after that encounter I made it to work, the boss wanted me to go home but I figured the monotonous of the desk job would help calm my nerves. After an hour I thought I had calmed down from the near miss. I was reaching for my water bottle, and just when I was about to take a sip, it missed completely, the bottle fell to the floor, and all of the water spilled onto the power board. My heart stopped, then kicked into overdrive. But nothing happened... 
 
 I was recounting this two encounters to a women -let's call her Jenny- I work with, and had have had a crush on for the past two years since she had joined the company. She was shocked that today was the first time that I had ever been lucky and that it had been such a big experience for me. Well we got talking more and more and she jokenly said I should put on a ticket for the lottery. 
 
 Thinking I was already really lucky I figured, what's there to lose, so I did it, after two years I asked her out... she said yes! Sure enough, I thought about this, or maybe over thought it. How could I have lived 25 years on this planet and never experience luck until today? And three times? This had to have been a record or something. 
 
 I was sitting at my desk having my lunch when my boss came in, he had been checking up on me periodically to see if I was okay. He sat down with me and we got talking about my job and what I loved about it and where I wanted to be in five years time. After this, he mentioned that there was a position higher up that he had recommended me for and if I was willing I could start as soon as we got my replacement. I took it, better pay and less monotonous, it was just what I needed. 
 
 I took her advice, I bought the lottery ticket, but I doubt I would win, I'm not that lucky. I had things to do around the house, but me and Jenny were talking all throughout the day. As I was cleaning up the house my parents grew up in -a dump which was given to me in their will- I noticed something. A floorboard was loose, I remember I had planned on fixing it up when I got around to it but I never did. And I'm glad I did n't! 
 
 Underneath the floorboard was a small box, pulling it out, the dust covered everything so I knew nothing of what it could be except that it was heavy. Once I dusted everything off I realised there was no lock, no form of identification, nothing. I was curious; this box had been hidden from view for a long time... I went into the shed and got some tools, slowly I worked it around what I thought was the lid. Once I opened it I was shocked, there was a ring in there and not just any ring but a diamond ring, that was n't it though, a note accompanied the ring to. It was written by my grandfather. He was in love with someone, wanted to marry her in fact, he had the ring for her, the main reason he did n't ask was because he did n't feel like he deserved to be lucky, that she would n't have said yes, because then he'd be the luckiest guy in the world. He'd already been lucky seven times in his life, so how could she have possibly said yes? 
 
 The ring and the note, I never knew him, and this gave me that little bit of insight into what he went through back then. I'm so glad I found it. I was just about to ring my baby sister and tell her what I found when she called me, I answered quickly, we both started talking at the same time. Her fiancé and her had finally gotten pregnant, and I was the first one to find out, they wanted me to be the godfather. 
 
 I had to tell someone, so I decided to tell Jenny, she was ecstatic that I called her and so happy for me. She asked if I would wait on the phone with her while the lottery was being drawn, I was down for it so we chatted for a little while longer before it started. The numbers were getting called one by one and sure enough, they were the same numbers on my little slip of paper.... I could n't believe it, I got the first division prize. Jenny did n't believe me, who would? Even I still do n't believe it. 
 
 You probably do n't believe me when I say this had all happened within twelve hours, I could n't believe my luck, I almost died, got a date with the girl of my dreams, found out I was going to be an uncle and became a multi-millionaire!
