Australian truck driver Bill Morgan wasn't having the best day. First, he was nearly crushed to death by a freak truck accident at work, and while the accident itself was not fatal, it did leave Bill with a heart condition.
When he took the required medication, Bill suffered an allergic reaction that caused a powerful heart attack which left him clinically dead for 14 minutes. After being revived by doctors, he slipped into a coma.
He remained in the vegetative state for 12 days during which time his family was advised to unplug life support twice. Then, he unexpectedly woke up without any permanent damage. After the recovery, he landed a higher paying job and became engaged to his long time girlfriend.
A week later, Morgan purchased scratch-off lottery ticket, and from it he won a car. But his lucky streak didn't just end there. The news station decided to do a human interest story on Bill. They tried to get him to recreate the ticket-scratching scene. Turns out that the ticket Bill purchased for the re-enactment ended up being a $250 000 winner. It all went down on live TV.
