Some people just have all the luck.

Neymar has just won what would be a fortune to most people on one poker hand. The 23 year old reportedly earns €200,000 a week, so €17,810 isn't exactly a big pay day for him, but the Barcelona forward won the hand with a royal flush, the best poker hand possible. The odds of such a hand are 0.00000154%, so around the same odds as Neymar playing for Manchester United this season. The Brazilian posted a picture of his winning hand to his Instagram page.1817862Sure, Neymar plays for Barcelona, and is exorbitantly wealthy, and lucky, but is he happy? Yeah, probably.
