Frano Selak: 'world's luckiest man'
A music teacher, Frano Selak, who was dubbed the world's luckiest man after
cheating death seven times before winning the lottery has now decided to
give away his fortune. He survived the disasters including landing on a haystack after falling
out of a plane door that had blown open..The 81 year-old won £600,000 five years ago in the lottery in Croatia, to
celebrate his fifth marriage, after earlier surviving plane and train
crashes. Now the pensioner has decided that "money cannot buy happiness" and
has decided to live a frugal life.
He has sold his luxury home on a private island, given away his fortune to
family and friends and moved back to his modest home in Petrinja, which is in south of Zagreb, in the centre of the country.
He kept the last bit of his winnings for a hip replacement operation so he
could enjoy life with his wife and also so he could build a shrine to the
Virgin Mary to give thanks for his luck
