what would you say that ever happened to you or that you witnessed, that you would consider a one in a million chance or a billion chance something...

for example, mine would be...
a friend i knew from elementary school in new york
i met him again 10 years later by chance in new jersey
we happen to be going to the same high school
and 5 years later, i found out he was in korea while i was in korea
it was summer break, and we were even in the same city
that was some supernatural luck ive ever experienced...
and i swear i aint making this up...

anything minor works too...
for example...
like i was playing hangman, and i said a random word and i happen to get it right, it was a funny luck....

like any chance that would be considered really low and unlikely to happen, but at least everyone has at least one of those chances that happens to them,...

chances are funny

All of these are purely coincidence?? This is bizzare, do you still keep in touch with him? There IS a reason for this y'know, I'm actually a strong believer in 'Fate'. =D

As for me! Yea!! Something that is PURELY coincidental happened to me too!..

It happened two years ago..
I met a girl in an academic award ceremony
She happened to apply on the same uni as me.

A few months later, We got exactly the same scholarship and at the same time, we were both told to change our uni to a few choices of universities that our sponsors wanted.

Since I wanted to change uni last minute, I was recommended to this education officer that could help me out with the fast track uni application (WHICH, by coincidence, that girl was also referred to the SAME officer as mine!)

We ended up (by coincidence..) CHOOSING the same uni and got accepted by that SAME UNI. (of all the british universities..lol).

and we WERE BOOKED on the SAME FLIGHT!!!

Something that happened to me by chance was just a few days ago, while playing Black Jack with my friends I managed to get Black Jack not twice, but three times but what makes it really a one in a million it happened back to back and the sad part was I was never touching the cards, not even shuffling nor dealing, so there was no way for me to have cheated.

What makes this incident even worse is that the next day the same thing happened except this time I only got Black Jack twice and a Five Card win instead of a third Black Jack. Though thanks to these events my friends don't want me playing Black Jack with them anymore. 😔

Her name also starts with A...just like mine.
And believe it or not, we do have something in common when it comes to our personal relationship with our family (e.g stepmothers, real moms..stepsiblings)and the fact that both of us are from single parent families.. 😐 ;;;

I use to hang out with a specific group of people last year (there were 6 of us). And coincidentally, everyone in the group was born on the 8th day of a certain month! I thought that was pretty cool.

Me and two of my best friends for some reason make up the American/Britsh Flag.

On wash day (the day we don't have to where uniforms in college), we always coincidentally make up red, white and blue. We change the color but it always ends up that one of us wears red, the other blue and the last one white. For 3 Years!!!

And no, no one bothered to where green, yellow or any other color except red, white or blue. WTF!? 🤣

I make a cycle of sorts with two of my friends from high school.
My name is Elizabeth Michelle
Then there's Michelle Lauren
And finally Lauren Elizabeth.

Here's another. I'm going to college in Virginia and in a religious studies class last year, out of maybe 20 students, three of us were born in Anchorage, Alaska. Usually, when I tell people I was born in Alaska, they've never met anyone born there before.

let's see.
it's not anthing special, but I guess it's kind of weird..
a friend and I always think the same thing at the same time.
thus, we alway say things at the same time!

and , when I'm in class, and everyone's very roudy, I tend to swear a lot 'cause no one 'll hear me anyway.or that's what I always think.eceryone always gets quiet at the same time i start cursing! and then the teachers get mad at me ;_;

i do sure hope this "lucky" streak will end at that 🤨

this is more like a religious experience then a one in a million chance but here it is:
last winter a couple of the international students at MIT went to this place outside of Boston for some sledding. a couple of my friends from the Boston area came too just to hang and i ended up spending all of my time with them instead. so this german friend of mine decided to go sledding without a shirt on so it was only logical that we all throw snow at him. during this snow fight, he managed to lose his glasses. after like 20 minutes of looking, he decided to go back to the bar to ask for a flashlight. the rest of us looked for another 10 minutes before calling for a strategy. one of my friends was the son of a priest but was not religious. he had this crazy idea to pray to god (the Christian one) and ask him to guide our spittle towards the lost glasses. we all spit in random directions and sure enough, that dudes spit went right to the glasses. it was so weird. i really believed

i almost forgot to say one thing....

i remember my japanese friend told me that, like when he was in elementary school his grandmother died of cancer... and his family isnt religious but quite superstitutious..... and supposely they believe that people's souls who was recently deceased tend to get lonely and want to take someone with them....
he told me he got into 2 major accidents in the same month...
first one being 2~3 days after her death, and another like in 2 weeks later, which he said it was freaky...

oh well, his family shoulve known better than to jinx it 🤢
