The Luckiest man alive
An Australian who just a year ago was pronounced clinically dead after a heart attack has been rewarded with enough good luck to last a lifetime.
By rights Bill Morgan should have died and been buried.

After his huge heart attack Bill was rushed to hospital and given a drug to which he had an extreme allergic reaction.
His heart stopped for 14 minutes and he went into a coma.
Doctors thought about switching off his life support system but instead he was transferred to another hospital which managed to save him.

Twelve days later he emerged from a coma with all his facilities intact.
Not only did he survive, but embarked on a year of unbelieveable good fortune.
He went on to marry the girl of his dreams and then won not one but two lotteries.
Two weeks ago Bill collected a car with a winning lottery ticket.

A local television station in Melbourne decided to tell Bill's story, and asked him to return to the store where he bought his winning ticket.
Bill, a 37-year-old truck driver, was happy to oblige when the television crew asked him to re-enact the buying and scratching of his ticket.
However, when being filmed scratching a duplicate card he found he had an even bigger win on his hands.
In disbelief and looking shocked he held his face in his hands.

"I just won 250,000. I am not joking. I just won 250,000. Please don't film me," he said.
Lady Luck had struck twice and Bill was finding it a bit too much to bear.
"I don't believe this is happening. I think I will have another heart attack. Oh gosh!" he said after winning 250,000 Australian dollars
Last year Bill was living in a caravan, now he can afford a new house to share with his new wife and new car.
He must consider himself to be the luckiest man alive.
