Nice. Hitting on a 21 and still getting 21.

This reminds me of a cocktail party I was at once
where everyone was playing blackjack. This acquaintance of mine was very drunk, but was winning tons of money. He was cocked back, in his tuxedo, half slobbering, and loudly carrying on to no end. Being the obtrusive person that I am, I mentioned to him that I thought he had had a bit too much to drink. He looked up at me and snarled, “how do you think I won all of this?”, while casting his palm out across his vast accumulation of chips. I noticed that he was holding a King and an Ace, an obvious blackjack, but he did not. He turned from me back toward the dealer and yelled, “hit me”! He was promptly dealt another face card, maintaining his 21. Suddenly realizing what had happened, he looked up at me and smiled. I guess fate suddenly decided to underscore the point. LOL

TV, I forgot to add part to the story
During Monday Night Football, I told my wife we should get surround sound.

Hard to say
One year I had had a camera stolen out of my car and that year at the Christmas raffle, there was a camera there. I commented that I needed one and it sure would be nice to win that. I did. Who knows.

I think that was an incredible coincidence - nothing more. Of course you were going to get jokes about the drawing being rigged.
