If you were Costis Mitsotakis, you might consider yourself the world's unluckiest man. Costis was the only person in his village not to buy a ticket in the Spanish Christmas lottery. When they won first prize, everyone except Costis received a share of the total prize of nearly £600 million, so he was the 1 poorest / most poor person in his village that Christmas. But there are other contenders. For example, US park ranger Roy Sullivan was even unluckier 2 as / than Costis. He was struck by lightning seven times in his lifetime - the world record! However, that's nothing like as bad as Britain's John Lyne, who is perhaps the 3 most / more unfortunate of all. At eighteen months old, he accidentally drank disinfectant and had to have his stomach pumped. And the older he got, the worse things became. He's been run over, nearly drowned and had a car crash. John's life has been more accident-filled than you would think possible. But he doesn't think he's unlucky. As far as he's concerned, most of his accidents could have ended a lot more seriously, so he may actually be the world's luckiest man!

Tạm dịch
Nếu bạn là Costis Mitsotakis, bạn có thể coi mình là người đàn ông kém may mắn nhất thế giới. Costis là người duy nhất trong làng của anh không mua vé xổ số Giáng sinh ở Tây Ban Nha. Khi đoạt giải nhất, tất cả mọi người ngoại trừ Costis đều nhận được một phần trong tổng giải thưởng gần 600 triệu bảng Anh, nên anh là người nghèo nhất làng mình vào dịp Giáng sinh năm đó. Nhưng có những đối thủ khác. Ví dụ, nhân viên kiểm lâm người Mỹ Roy Sullivan thậm chí còn kém may mắn thứ hơn Costis. Ông bị sét đánh bảy lần trong đời - kỷ lục thế giới! Tuy nhiên, điều đó không tệ bằng John Lyne của Anh, người có lẽ là người kém may mắn trong số đó. Lúc mười tám tháng tuổi, cậu bé vô tình uống phải thuốc khử trùng và phải bơm dạ dày. Và càng lớn lên, mọi chuyện càng trở nên tồi tệ hơn. Anh ta bị xe tông, suýt chết đuối và bị tai nạn ô tô. Cuộc đời của John đầy rẫy những tai nạn hơn bạn tưởng. Nhưng anh không nghĩ mình kém may mắn. Theo như anh ấy lo ngại, hầu hết các vụ tai nạn của anh ấy có thể đã kết thúc nghiêm trọng hơn rất nhiều, vì vậy anh ấy thực sự có thể là người đàn ông may mắn nhất thế giới!
