When we hear that something has a million-to-one chance, we tend not to react like Jim Carrey’s character in Dumb & Dumber and say, “So you’re saying there’s a chance?”
Still, he is technically correct. Although it’s not advisable to bet much money on the horse with the longest odds or grab a stack of lottery tickets, sometimes things with astronomical odds can happen.

Although the stuff we’re about to see today may not have as incredible odds as that, it still seems like they won’t be happening again for a while.
The photographer probably just wanted to capture this beautiful sunset, but they got one breathtaking bonus.
Yes, it looks like a dolphin just happened to do a majestic jump right as they clicked the shutter. That’s not something you can set up on purpose.
We’ll have to trust the uploader that someone didn’t just plug a stick into this hole because that’s far less impressive than what we think happened here.
As far as we can tell, one of this tree’s branches just happened to grow at the right rate to perfectly fit this small hole in the fence.
This isn’t exactly the luckiest honor in the world, but Ann Hodges here is the only person who has ever been hit by a meteorite.
According to Atlas Obscura , it crashed through her home in Sylacauga, Alabama, but she ended up having to fight her landlord over the legal right to own it.
She ended up winning, but the case earned her a great deal of unwanted public attention, so she donated it to her state museum of natural history.
The two people in these photos are now married and they didn’t know each other were there at the time.
Not only is that pretty incredible on its own, but there’s no way that the part where each one ended up in the background their eventual spouse’s photo happens very often.
This trolley synced up perfectly with the building behind it.
It’s probably for the best that this is just a weird optical illusion. I can’t imagine that living in an apartment on top of a rattling vehicle would be very comfortable.
If the destination was the same, this would be downright spooky. It’s still a crazy coincidence, though.
It’s also very fortunate that the flight in the book was used as an example where the plane landed uneventfully. After all, it’s really hard to keep up that terrified adrenaline for a whole 22-hour flight.
Not only are we seeing a wild glitch in the matrix, but neither of the men involved even know it’s going on.
It kind of makes me wonder how many pictures I’ve accidentally starred in where some other guy had my exact same outfit.
Based on how excited the uploader was, I guess it’s safe to assume this happened on its own.
Before one would even get to the odds of this happening, they’d first need to explain how the toast managed to leap out of the toaster, turn exactly 90 degrees, and land perfectly.
Two-dollar-bills aren’t the most common sight at the best of times, but the way this person got them is mind-blowing.
Despite the fact that these bills are in sequential order, they received them as tips from two different customers.
A bird happened to poop on this car in exactly the perfect spot.
That’s not something that most people want to see, but it’s hard to get mad at the way it lines up with the chick decal.
Can’t imagine what he ate.
White cars may be one of the more common sights we see, but they’re not so common that we see six different people park them next to each other like this.
Granted, it’s possible that we did and never noticed it, but we’ll probably start paying attention now.
This person has just dealt a very interesting game of blackjack.
Not only did they end up with the perfect order of face cards, but they’re all the same suit. If this were poker, it’s be exciting and frustrating all at the same time.
If Robin Hood took place today, this is probably how the archery tournament would end.
This may not be the only time this has happened, but it’s definitely guaranteed to make the crowd go wild.
Sometimes, it’s comforting that something doesn’t happen more often.
Apparently, these two drivers were equally unsafe about transporting stuff on the same road, on the same day.
As an added bonus, they were both photographed doing it in front of pizza signs.
Trees can grow in some strange places, but even with that in mind, this seems a little too perfect.
I guess the seed just happened to germinate in the hole at the center of this sign and grew in place like it came out of a garden center?
Every now and then, someone will get an egg with two yolks, but it doesn’t necessarily have a partner.
This time, however, someone got two different buy-one-get-one-free yolk deals without even realizing it.
It’s not necessarily that weird to go into an art gallery and find a painting that looks vaguely like us, but it’s not usually this exact.
If you post something like this and someone accuses you of Photoshopping it, you’ve got an incredible likeness on your hands.
I’m guessing that this painting really spoke to her.
Somehow, this bubble managed to thread the needle and rest on this leaf without popping.
Some leaves may be wide enough to make this easy, but this one has it completely surrounded by little, bubble-destroying points.
As fascinating as it would be to watch someone marry an owl man, that’s sadly not what’s happening here.
Even putting the perfect timing aside, this is even more amazing if this owl wasn’t included in the wedding ceremony because it blends in with the aesthetic perfectly.
The silent stunt performer Tape Face has made quite an impression, but not so much that these two realized what was happening here.
Yes, that is indeed Tape Face taking a photo of two of his fans in front of his display without them having any idea who he is.
It’s amazing how much changes when you take the tape off.
This person found the exact spot from Clif Bar packaging.
The fact that this person had a Clif Bar in their pocket at the exact moment they realized they were viewing the Clif Bar package is just as wild.
These two strangers both look similar and were dressed virtually the same.
This is trippy. They both have black dress pants, plaid shirts, and are wearing bow ties.
W h a t ???????
It’s a miracle if you ever get the whole row to yourself. But to get a whole plane to yourself?!
Now that is a straight up b l e s s i n g thrown straight from the heavens above.
Is it just me, or is this tree also making you hungry?
That is, if you like broccoli.
But yeah. This tree looks straight up like a big ol’ bunch of broccoli.

Cray.

Like, pardon me?

The projection of the sun peeping through a curtain onto this photo made me go from “I want to believe” to “Dang! I believe!”
Aliens have to be real after seeing something like this.
Is this swan carrying a lil swan on its beak?
It sure looks like it! Wouldn’t that be amazing?
But, unfortunately, this little swan doesn’t exist. This is just an example of natural trick photography.
Check out this attention to detail on this mayonnaise container.
The serial number reads “MAYO,” as if we didn’t already know what we were purchasing.
But the real question here is, if the mayo is vegan, is it really mayo?
Hmmm. Something here seems oddly familiar.
Owning a coin like this is already cool enough. But then to realize you’re looking straight ahead at the exact scene the coin is based on?
Absolutely bonkers.
This drop of water landed on this wallet for the sole purpose to add a little life to its bleak and boring design.
Ah, yes. This wallet looks much better with a funky skull in the bottom left corner.
I didn’t know they made clothing to match tissue boxes!

A great marketing opportunity. Just make sure you give me some royalties for the idea, Kleenex, okay?
