Alexander the Great had a hell of a winning streak. Dad died while on a roll and Alex kept the momentum going.

First is fake/staged. Second is just pathetic.
This is too hard, but I'll nominate James Lovell and Beck Weathers for your consideration.
Anyone who has scored a gold medal in short track skatng due to other people crashing or in hurdle races when runners hit the lumber.
You talking about me?
Hugh Hefner
interesting question, OP. What if leading a famous life inherently means that you're not lucky because you had the bad luck to be interesting enough that people know you? Maybe the luckiest life is a quiet one with some escape from death or misery by a coinflip that none of us know about or ever could.
Bill Cosby.
So many white women.
In the NFL it is Matt Flynn. He got not 1, but 2 sizable contracts based on his performance in one meaningless game and has been primarily a bench warmer ever since that one game.
Ringo Starr. Let's be serious, you put any drummer in a band with the talent of Paul, John, and George, good things will happen for them.
Hands down, Stan Musial. He came into baseball full of gratitude and talent. He took neither one for granted. He lived to the ripe old age of 91 still married to the same woman and much loved by the whole frigging world. No scandals, no drama, just an overwhelming desire to make other people, especially strangers, feel good. As one of his eulogists wrote: "He made nobodies feel like somebodies."
Tell that to the Beatles' first two drummers. The thing is, the Beatles were All-Stars who, in the ruthless manner of all great bands, demanded the very best. It wasn't a coincidence that George Martin gravitated toward them. If Ringo wasn't one of the very best, then the Beatles would've canned him very fast.

That's pretty ridiculous. Specifically the plane incident and car off the mountain incident.
If he didn't have his windows down he would be dead, amazing how much a trivial difference saved his life
Definitely me

Mo Farah. Two Olympic gold medals and still not caught.
That made me laugh out loud hahaha
Jay Cutler, without question or hesitation.
He's absolutely dreadful at his job, and yet he makes over a million bucks a game and somehow still has a couple people thinking he's fuggin great.
Make him work for federal minimum wage, and he'd still be overpaid.
Joe Bosshard
Duh?

You're right, he did have an interesting question.
You, however, did not.
