I came across this show in the Discovery+ program listing. It’s not about lottery winners but people whose luck changed in a matter of minutes based upon last minute choices they made or serendipitous circumstances.
One young man found out after his mother died from cancer that the father he moved in with wasn’t his father. Turns out her boss, who had also died was his biological father. According to the company lawyer, any heir that came forth stood to inherit millions. Paternity was proved and the young man became rich.
A man and his wife were struggling to pay bills. He accepted an offer from a friend to start flipping houses. When they checked the first project, a cottage, the man found several pieces of art that he felt must’ve been the former occupant’s life's work. Some of the paintings were a bit moldy but an art appraiser he contacted said they were indeed valuable, cleaned them up and began auctioning them. The man and his wife became millionaires.
In another story, an imprisoned man got a visit from an old childhood friend who always had a crush on him. Her brother, also a friend, called and told her their friend was in jail. She began to visit him and of course he spoke of his innocence. She promised to wait for him since she felt “love at first sight all over again”. During the year of her weekly visits he did research and was putting together a case for his exoneration which he submitted to an organization that helped innocent people obtain their freedom. Turns out he was indeed innocent. Him and his GF struggled for months after he moved in with her because for awhile she was the only one working. He finally found a job then he received compensation. He called her one day and said Babe check your bank account. There was $101,000 in it. She went thrift shopping and he asked why she bought from discount stores. She said she didn't want to waste the money. That's when he told her his settlement was 8.3 million dollars!
Each episode has 3 or 4 stories and only 5 episodes are available. I very rarely watch these kinds of shows but I became intrigued with their stories. What would you do if you were suddenly rich?
