I think I inadvertently just discovered I missed my calling!
I've won drawings for dozens of random things since I was 5, not because I sought them out, but because a disproportionate number of the times I've thrown my name in a hat just for fun, my name's been picked!
The first thing I ever won was a Frisbee at the California state fair after a pig race, but by the time I finished school, it included a TV, coveted tickets to my school's away game at our rivals, and even my undergrad and grad school tuition!
I've always figured, in a random universe, there are bound to be outliers who win things a disproportionate amount of the time, and I just happened to be one of them, but now I'm curious what would happen if I put that luck to the test!
- capableweb 5y agoOn the other hand, I've had the same mindset my entire life ("thrown my name in a hat just for fun" when possible) but never ever won anything in 30+ years. But when it comes to the rest of my life, I've been very lucky when it comes to everything from work, personal life, relationships, health and more. Do try it out and see if your luck replicates to other things, worst case scenario you tried and got experience :)
