Yes, some like to live it up on this lucky day, but some have gotten lucky enough to win incredible prizes. Have a look at these almost unbelievable and interestingly lucky stories.
Four sisters or a four-leaf clover?
Many have heard of the four-leaf clover and that supposedly finding one is a sign that good luck is with you. People think that four-leaf clover are a sign of good luck because clover leaves never grow an even number of leaves; clover always grows in 3, 5, 7, etc., so a clover with four leaves is technically an anomaly. Since these anomalies are so rare to spot in a field of normal ones, finding one is believed to signal you’ve hit a lucky streak and that you’d better use it! The rule of four might have applied here as four sisters would win a massive jackpot for St. Patrick’s Day.
Four sisters from Oregon had initially planned to buy eight tickets; they would hold two tickets, and should any of them win, they would all share them. At the last minute, though, the sister tasked with purchasing their eight shots at the prize was inspired to buy a 9th ticket. At first, she didn't mention anything and kept the extra ticket hidden. Her last-minute hunch would pay off though, as the 9th ticket matched the winning draw. She would go on to happily share the news and cash with her sisters! The other three were initially slightly disappointed as none of the eight lines they originally planned matched the draw. They were delighted to hear their sister had bought an extra ticket that had just won them $1 Million.
They were all overjoyed with the win, and since they were all retired, they decided to take some of the winnings for a fantastic vacation.
