By Sometimes it’s not a game of years- just of a few minutes or days.
Almost everyone in the world has a dream of becoming independently wealthy throughout their life, without realizing that becoming rich is not as easy as shelling peas. The less prudent invest their savings in tawdry internet scams and risky endeavors while wise stashes away their annual rewards. Then, there come those lucky sapiens who make it easier by turning their empty pockets changed into millions of dollars in no time at all. Most people believe that there are no alternatives to becoming rich other than working hard, but few fortunes make you think that there is something bigger than hard work, better than working for 9 hours job and its luck.
Here are the impulsive stories of six ordinary people who have realized the worth of their ideas, business, and property overnight.
Kevin Lewis
Sometimes, even a co-incidence can make you a millionaire. A fancy casino in Cincinnati gave away $1 Million grand prizes to two peeps after incidentally awarding the initial bumper prize to a guy with the same name as an intended winner. Astonishingly, both men had belonged to the same age group, living in the same area, and even with the same name. As soon as the casino discovered its mistake, it had decided to let the wrong Kevin Lewis keep the money and awarded the intended winner with a giant check. Luckily, both Kelvin Lewis’s turn into instant millionaires.
Oscar and Loreen Stohler
This story will make you believe that anyone can become a millionaire without making efforts through their property if it’s written in fate. One of the modest couple from Western North Dakota farm Lorraine Stochler and Oscar hadn’t thought they were literally resting on millions before tracking down crude oil on their property. The couple who were in their early 80s were dubious at first even though after becoming a millionaire couple, but the strollers still drive their old pickup truck, saying that they love their old belongings too much to replace them.
Jonathan Duhamel
Jonathan Duhamel dreamed of becoming an all-star hockey player, but he became a millionaire through poker instead. In 2010, World Series of Poker in Las Vegas, Duhamel won almost 9 million dollars in the main event. Taking the title as a 23-year-old, he is the first Canadian to win the title.
Marv Doniger
An angry Marv Doniger sued his doctor after he failed to diagnose his cancer. He spent three months in UCLA hospital having his bladder removed, and when he was discharged, he was unable to walk. The doctor believed it to be a simple case of kidney stones, but Doniger’s problems persisted. Despite his ability to walk with a cane and leg braces, he could not resume his career. Doniger worked as a management consultant to Fortune 500 companies until his unrecognized illness forced him to retire. The lawsuit went on for a few years and took two trials, but Doniger won 3.3 million just like that.
Amanda Hocking
As a struggling author, Amanda Hocking took advantage of Kindle to sell her unpublished novel. But, she had no idea she would make over $2000 in six months, 2.5 million dollars in twenty months, and changed publishing forever; no booking agent, no publishing house, no sales force, no marketing manager, no bookshop, just her.
