What is serendipity?
It is defined by oxford online dictionary as the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.

I ask AI to give me an example of serendipity in gambling to provide a better understanding.
Quote
Maya was celebrating her 30th birthday alone, freshly heartbroken and wine-in-hand. As a self-gift (and a mild distraction), she deposited $30 into an online casino account. One dollar for each year of surviving life’s plot twists.

She picked a game called "Starfruit Frenzy" because… well, it was cute. 🍒✨

On her third spin—yep, the big 3-0—she hit a bonus round.
Then a multiplier.
Then a free spins chain reaction.
By the end of it all, she was staring at a balance of $87,000.

She thought it was a glitch. It wasn’t.

She paid off her car, booked a solo trip to Morocco, and started a food blog called “Spinning Plates” that now pays more than her old job.

Before we confuse serendipity with luck, please note that it is not just random luck but it is luck with a meaning. It is luck that happens at the right time that when you look back on it, you see that it was meaningful and leading to somewhere, in my estimation always better than where you have been, either physically, financially, emotionally and otherwise.

Share an experience you had from gambling that you think is a result of serendipity.
