On December 17, BBC reported: "A 49-year-old British man, Davis, and his wife won the UK National Lottery's £1 million jackpot for the second time with an extremely low probability of more than 24 trillion to one on the 26th of last month. The couple had first won the same amount of money in June 2018. This win was due to a cycle of eligibility for the lottery: winning two numbers grants a free draw in the next round. They eventually hit five numbers plus one additional number. Although they gained unexpected wealth, they remained committed to community service: Davis cuts hair at a shelter and does part-time delivery work, while his wife volunteers as a chef in a community kitchen and provides charitable psychological counseling."
[Clever] Behind the double win - the conservation of kindness beyond luck! A British couple won the £1 million lottery twice with a probability of more than 24 trillion to one, which is a miracle in the field of probability. To know that the probability of being struck by lightning twice is about 9 million to one, the couple's luck far exceeds this, even lower than the probability of the Medici family, a wealthy merchant from Florence during the Renaissance, accidentally controlling Europe's financial lifeline! But what is more precious than winning the lottery is their perseverance: even after winning large sums of money, they still stick to cutting hair at a shelter, volunteering in a community kitchen, and providing charitable psychological counseling. This reminds us of the few businessmen during the Dutch tulip bubble in the 16th century who, after becoming rich, still upheld public welfare. They proved that unexpected wealth is never an excuse to change one's life, but rather an opportunity to amplify kindness!
Under the current context where sudden wealth leads to forgetting one's roots, this couple has demonstrated through action: luck is a gift of probability, while kindness is an inevitable choice. True wealth is not in account numbers, but in an unchanging sense of social responsibility!
