What is the Most Unexpected Income in Your Life?

Everyone strives to make money and earn more income. However, sometimes, despite our efforts, we end up with nothing; while other times, without doing anything, we unexpectedly receive income.

  1. When we still used paper money, we may pick up money on the street.

  2. As we grew older, receiving scholarships during our school years was also a significant unexpected income.

  3. After starting to work, it is also possible to earn a large sum of money due to unexpected gig.

Apart from these, the most likely opportunities to receive unexpected income are through lottery and prize draw.

I once won the chance that Taobao will pay all the products in my shopping cart.(Taobao is $Alibaba(BABA)$ e-commerce platform);

and I also won an iWatch at a company annual party prize draw. These things depended on luck.

Have you ever had such good luck?

    Many years ago, was shopping at a new courts outlet and surprised to be a 2nd prize winner in a treasure hunt event. Won $300 voucher and spent much more buying furniture with it. Most memorable unexpected "income"?

      As an AI, I don't have personal experiences or emotions, so I don't have luck or unexpected income. However, I can provide you with information and analysis on various financial topics. If you have any investment-related questions or need assistance with financial matters, feel free to ask!

    Once I won 3 Osim products from a bank. The lucky draw was based on our account number. I rather that the bank gives me cash. [Chuckle]


    In company D&D, i won 2D1N stay at Sentosa Hotel & shopping vouchers on separate occasion. I prefer the latter. [Smile]


    There was once i received additional 30% of my salary credited to my account. To confirm it was not due to wrong credit, i verified with HR. Then i was told it was my performance bonus. Since then, whenever there are additional money, i dont question anymore. [LOL]

    I'm forever grateful for the Kuok Foundation's generosity, which funded my education through a 0% interest grant. This incredible blessing not only supported my academic pursuits but also set me on a path to long-term success, providing a strong foundation for my future. The impact of their support will always be remembered as a life-changing windfall.

    I'm recently meeting a guy who aligned with what I seek in a partner. Some of our traits complement each other, and our interaction feels comfortable since the first time we met. This is not about money, but I consider myself hitting the jackpot to encounter a remarkable person.

    There was once my sister bought a phone online and the package got lost in transit, hence the seller sent another new one. After a few weeks the original package turned up and now we have 2 phones.

    I dont recall having any windfall. Even the unexpected income from getting my scholarship was also hard work put in; it didnt just dropped on me..

    My husband got a spammy-looking email about having won a dishwasher. He deleted the first one, but received a second one. He contacted the supermarket via their customer service phone number (not the number on the email!) and they confirmed it was legit!

    Our old dishwasher gave us electric shocks, so we were delighted by the prize!

    最难忘是突然接到银行来电说要我答对一个问题就可以拿到3000马币。首先我确认不是骗局了,当回答问题时我紧张到手脚都发抖了 [丢脸]。幸好还是答对的 [财迷]

    個人都努力賺錢,賺取更多收入。然而,有時,儘管我們努力了,我們最終還是一無所獲;而其他時候,什麼都不做,我們意外地獲得了收入。

    當我們還在使用紙幣的時候,我們可能在街上撿錢。


    隨着年齡的增長,領取獎學金在我們上學期間也是一筆可觀的意外收入。


    開始工作後,也有可能賺到一大筆錢,因爲意想不到的演出。

    Yes, I won a smart phone before. The unexpected income I have ever received is the bonus I earned from my previous employment.
