Life sometimes throws us curveballs by giving us good luck when we least expect it. These three stories are about people who got really lucky.

A young woman and a man went on a date to a coffee shop. She ordered food that didn’t break the bank, and when the bill came, the man offered that they split it in half. Without a doubt, she agreed. She got flowers and a note from the man the next day, telling her she was the first woman who didn’t make a fuss about sharing the price. He was moved by how humble and kind she was.

Another story is about a young girl whose life got better because she was crazy about a Spanish star. She worked hard to learn Spanish and was finally accepted to a college in the hometown of the star. She moved to Spain, rented an apartment close to his, and even found a new boyfriend who liked that she was a fan. Her drive and determination helped her start a new life that was full of fun and meaning.

Several times, a lucky boss found money, ranging from $50 to $200. He did not keep the money for himself; instead, he bought candy for his team. When a friend said one day that he hadn’t found any money in a while, he came in with three big bowls of candy as a treat, thanks to the $200 he had just found. People around him were happy because he was kind and generous, and his luck also helped other people.
