What random benefits has life thrown at you? What amazingly lucky occurrences have blessed your life?

It could be something as small as having someone ahead of you in line pay for your fast food order (It has happened to me) or something much more dramatic.

My big one was when I was substantially behind on my property taxes. It was almost to the point of facing sheriff's sale. Then, one day, I called into the treasurer's office to see if they would accept a partial payment. The clerk looked up my account and found that it was paid current. A $4,000 deficit had been wiped out. It turned out that I was the beneficiary of a clerical error of a mortgage administrator somewhere that had misapplied funds to my account instead of the property that they were actually supposed to be paying on. The laws where I live dictate that once a payment is made, it cannot be reversed. The person who paid their money on my tax obligation lost their funds. I can only assume that the mortgage administrator had to make it up to them. I don't really know. But that misapplied payment saved my home. You can't get luckier than that.

Of course, both of these examples have to do with money. Money is always a big factor in life. But, somehow, I hope I don't see a ton of stories about lottery wins.
