It is unlikely that the Australian Bill Morgan believed in miracles until the age of 37. All the more unexpected was everything that happened to him afterwards. Including live TV broadcasts from a regular store, where he bought another lottery ticket. Viewers could watch a man's emotions in a moment that changed his life forever.
The first miracle - a way out of clinical death
It is known that the man was born in 1976, and in 1999 he was 37. He worked as a truck driver and got into a serious accident. In critical condition, he was sent to the hospital, where he was hurriedly injected with a medicine that caused a severe shock. As a result of an allergic reaction, Bill Morgan survived clinical death, which lasted about 14 minutes. After starting the heart muscle, he was in a coma for a long 12 days. At this time, the family was repeatedly asked to turn off the life support system, because the probability of death of brain cells at the time of clinical death was very high.
The relatives were already ready to make such a decision, but on the 13th day the man not only came to his senses,but went on the mend. Moreover, the most surprising was the normal functioning of all organs, including the complete preservation of the intellect.
Life after salvation
Bill Morgan is a lucky man who was given a second chance at life. He left trucking, deciding to change his fate, but continued to work. For a long time he did not dare to propose to his beloved woman named Lisa Wells, but the proximity of death made him decisive. A year later, he gave her an engagement ring, having received consent. It was the happiest day of my life.
After a couple of weeks, an Australian bought a lottery ticket for change from shopping in a store. It was an instant lottery. Rubbing a protective layer with a coin, Bill Morgan discovered that he had become the owner of a prize - a car worth 17 thousand dollars. For Australia in the late 90s, it was very good money. Some sources give a different amount, but they indicate not Australian, but American dollars.
The second miracle is luck in the lottery
The news that a man was on the verge of death, and then won the lottery, spread around Australia. One of the Melbourne TV companies decided to shoot an interview with the lucky winner of a car after a clinical death. The journalist suggested that the man repeat the situation live, for which Bill Morgan bought a new lottery ticket. The cameras recorded the moment when he removed the protective layer, answering the questions of the correspondent. Suddenly his face changed. The amazed look and the words: “I just won 250 thousand dollars,” they saw andheard at the screens of all television viewers in Australia.
It looked like a joke, but the man's condition convinced him that he was telling the truth. Under the protective layer, the journalist could read that the Australian hit the jackpot. The amount of the winnings was so significant that it became clear: the life of a man will definitely change for the better.
Bill Morgan: lottery - what to spend on?
For many years the driver lived in a trailer, and fate gave him good luck. Without a moment's hesitation, he firmly decided to use the money to purchase a house for his new family. He was so worried that he thought he might have a heart attack. The new win really scared him, and he immediately said that he never plans to buy lottery tickets and hope for fortune again. The Australian continued that after the accident he dreams of only one thing - a quiet life with his beloved.
The bride in one of the interviews with humor expressed the hope that her future husband did not use all his luck in the lottery. The news of extraordinary luck in such a short time went beyond the borders of the country, flying around the whole world.
Afterword: fake or reality?
Many years have passed, but the video and the story of the unexpected luck of an ordinary Australian driver still excites the public in many countries. A version has appeared that Bill Morgan is an advertising fiction, the purpose of which is to increase the sale of lottery tickets. There is no evidence of the authenticity of what happened. And yet people believe that such a case has becomereality. The following points speak in favor of this:
- For a publicity stunt, there was no point in inventing a clinical death story that violates the norms of modern medicine.
- In order to play the emotional stress experienced by a lucky buyer on the air like this, you need to be a talented actor, at least well-known in your country.
- The journalist who conducted the interview was also extremely surprised by what had happened, which the camera could not help but "notice", which means that another talented actor who was not recognized by the audience should have been filmed in the video.
- In those years, the advertising industry was not developed enough to shoot such stories.
This means that Bill Morgan is a real person whose fate people would like to know. Moreover, statistics show that the money won rarely brings happiness to their owners. I really want this case to be an exception to the rule.
