£600k win for Mr Lucky
THE world’s most accident-prone man has finally struck lucky — with a £600,000 lotto win.
Ex-music teacher Frane Selak, 74, has survived SEVEN major accidents.
He was sucked out of a plane when the rear door ripped open — but fell into a haystack.
Nineteen others died.
A train he was in plunged into a river, drowning 17. So did a bus, killing four.
He has been knocked down by a coach and two cars he was driving have exploded.
A third car plunged 300ft down a mountain, but he managed to jump out and landed in a tree.
Now Frane has hit the jackpot in his native Croatia’s national lottery.
The pensioner, divorced four times, said: “Life is just beginning.”

I'm not sure if I should envy him, or feel sorry for him.
