OverviewEver shown up at your favorite restaurant just as the kitchen closes, or placed an order online only to discover your package vanished somewhere between warehouses? Wondered why some people get rich overnight, while your new shoes go on sale the day after you bought them? Welcome to Just My Luck #4, the book that explores the quirky, unpredictable, and surprisingly mathematical world of shopping, dining, and chasing success. In a universe where consumer convenience is just a click away-and luck seems to play a starring role-this book uncovers the real odds behind the moments that define modern life. Why do shopping fails and money dreams feel so personal? Retail and restaurants promise convenience, yet always seem to disappoint when it matters most. Every purchase, craving, or financial risk is a bet on probability, timing, and just a bit of hope. Meanwhile, the dream of success hangs in the air-possible for anyone, likely for few. Inside, you'll discover: Shopping, Food & Restaurants: Arriving just as your favorite place stops serving. Craving a dish and then seeing ads everywhere for it. Buying something defective, with customer service making you question your life choices. Watching the line move-right after you switch lines. And more retail adventures in probability. Money, Fame & Success: The odds of becoming a millionaire (or going viral for the wrong reasons). Getting your fifteen minutes of fame by accident. Finding out you're related to someone famous. Inventing something life-changing in your garage. And more stories of improbable fortune. How this book works: Each scenario blends true statistics, psychological insight, and the age-old hunt for meaning-whether you're stuck on hold with customer service or dreaming of your own lucky break. Read it while waiting for a delivery, standing in line, or whenever you need perspective on the world's strange sense of humor. Why you'll love this book: Relatable stories and stats that explain why the system lets you down-and how you're not alone Smart, witty takes on the modern chase for money, satisfaction, and that next big win Perfect for anyone who's ever suffered a shopping fail, dreamed of sudden wealth, or just wants to laugh at the odds Open to any page. Read, reflect, and discover how randomness, opportunity, and hope shape life in the marketplace-and maybe your own next lucky moment. P.S. What are the odds you're reading this while waiting for a refund, a meal, or a miracle? According to consumer research, pretty high. If so, you're in good company.
