5. Joan Ginther has won 4 multi-million dollar jackpots totaling $20 million.
6. Chris Duddy and Michael Benson survived a helicopter crash into a volcano.

9. Roy Sullivan has been struck by lightning 7 times over 35 years.
10. Michael Sparks bought one of only 35 original copies of the declaration of independence for $2.48. He thought it was just a cheap copy, but ended up selling it for half a million dollars.
