Our Question of the Week is about a time you felt lucky.

Since St. Patrick's Day was Monday, we are wondering about luck this week. Has there been a time when you felt really lucky?

Do you believe in luck? This week, we've been asking about times you were hit with good luck.

Here's what we heard

Chris from Shevlin texted, "We accidentally left the gate to our cattle pasture open, and instead of our cows getting out, some loose cattle wandered in. We never found out who owned them."

We heard a few stories about car crashes that could have been so much worse.

Karen from Grand Rapids wrote, "I was stopped in a line of traffic in a construction zone outside Duluth, and I was rear ended by a car and pushed into the back of an orange semi. My seat belt did its job and held me in place, the windshield did not shatter, the airbag did not deploy and the front of my car and engine absorbed most of the impact.

"It was completely smashed. I was shaken, stiff and sore for some time, and had seat belt bruises that lasted a long time, but I was so lucky! Wear your seat belts!"

Less seriously, Craig from Minneapolis said, "I don't follow college basketball but every year I enter our office March Madness pool, where the prize is lunch with the boss. I go by seeds, and flip a coin — literally — for closer seeds. Two years ago I had a hot coin and ended up 478 out of 20 million brackets on ESPN."

KAXE volunteer and Green Cheese Trivia host Justine Jacobson said she was lucky when she was crowned the Queen of Green Cheese while attending her first Green Cheese picnic.

Andrew from Iowa said he felt lucky when he found KAXE on his radio dial.
