> The irony being that you were served this great luck just before you got handed the ultimate unluckiness The irony in crashing in your newly bought sports car (or private jet) is in the fact that you were longing for a lottery win your whole life, hoping that it will bring you happiness, but instead it brought you death. Dying for a reason that is not directly related to your newly acquired wealth is something different. That's in line with the definition I found in the Cambridge Dictionary: "Irony - a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result."
