What are the chances?

In July 1975, newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic reported the death of 17-year-old Erskine Lawrence Ebbin, a young man who had been struck by a taxi while driving a moped in Hamilton, Bermuda. While unfortunate, his death wasn’t terribly notable—except for the fact that the previous year his brother was killed at the same intersection. And he, too, happened to be driving a moped—the same moped.

But mopeds are dangerous vehicles, right? And this was otherwise a terrible coincidence, right? Wrong. That’s not even the half of it. It turns out that it was the same taxi, with the same driver—and carrying the same passenger—that killed his brother Neville the previous year.

 There was this news in Dallas Morning News a while ago, a lady hit lottery jackpot 4 times. I guess, coincidence happens all the time.

In news, one guy hit 7-8 times and wrote about a book ' how to win lottery'. He is just lucky or his strategies made him win?

Just to add few factors:
The taxi driver carried same passenger, same time every day.
Also, the taxi driver was prone to many accidents.

Still a crazy coincidence, but just saying.
