Is it? There's a sibling comment to yours about somebody who went through this - seems like the rate is higher than the "gold coin in the woods."

  I'm surprised there is only one. There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people who view posts on here. If I searched ten thousand forests, I'd be hopeful for more than a single coin.

    You seem to have switched what you're saying to "it's not many gold coins in one forest; it's at least one gold coin in many forests". Or rather, you now seem to think it's pretty likely that lots of people have this happen to them.

      In absolute terms, it happens to many people. In practical terms, it happens to virtually no one. Hundreds of people win $10,000+ in the lottery every month. That is a lot of people. You can post a thread and will likely get comments from those who have won before. But as a percentage of the population, virtually no one wins big in the lottery. If you are foolish and think social media accurately portrays reality, you might quit your job to play the lottery full time - because hey, look at all the winners in the comments.
