The luckiest man in the world: Who is Bill Morgan?
We have compiled the story of Australian Bill Morgan, who is known as one of the luckiest men in the world, and is frequently shared on social media even today.
We can say that Bill Morgan, who lives in Melbourne, Australia and is now in his 60s, is 'one of the luckiest believers in the world'. The life of the man who made a living as a truck driver was the scene of great surprises that no one would believe after a traffic accident.
TERRIBLE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT: DEAD FOR 14 MINUTES
After a serious car accident in 1998 at the age of 37, Bill was medically dead for 14 minutes. Although doctors managed to resuscitate him, he was in a coma for 15 days and later suffered a severe heart attack.
Despite the terrible events he experienced, the man's life completely changed after he was discharged from the hospital.
HOSPITAL OUTPUT SCRATCH PLAYED, TOYOTA COROLLA WINS
Having tripped over death, Bill, thinking it was a sign, wanted to try his luck and got a scratch card. The man was astonished to see that he had won a £17,000 Toyota Corolla after scratches on the card, but it was only the first indication of the luck that embraced him.

Bill Morgan's return from the dead and the Lottery he won naturally became the center of attention in Australia. Local News teams reached out to the man for news that they wanted to cover chance events.
Wanting to recreate the moment he won the lottery in front of the news crews' cameras, Bill took another scratch card and couldn't believe his eyes after scratching the card.
He had won another lottery. Moreover, this time the amount outweighed the other.
Bill turned to the reporter and said in tears, "I just won $250,000, I'm not kidding. I think I'm going to have another heart attack."
Unable to believe what he was going through, Bill immediately called his fiancee and gave her the excellent news.
The video went viral after the day it was posted and continues to be shared on social media today.
Still gets scratchcards
The man, whom the Dailymail Australia team reached again in 2020, explained that his first job with the money he got was to buy a house in Melbourne.
Bill admits that he still continues to receive scratch cards, although he has some health problems, but is grateful for both winning the jackpot and for the support of his wife, Lisa.
Bill described his feelings to Dailymail with these words;
“Every day I get up and put on my shoes, and even if I'm not really well, I shuffle around and smell the roses, look at the sun and think about how lucky I am. My heart hurts so much but still what I experienced was the best."
