Winning an actual lottery is almost impossible. The odds are around one in 14 million. It's hard to say whether the odds for winning the genetic lottery are similar, but some people do end up with pretty cool genetic features thanks to their parents.
People on Reddit shared some pretty unique genetic traits in these two threads: one about the ways they won the genetic lottery, and the other about the ways in which they both won and lost.
The people in the latter thread brought up some very interesting genetic features. Turns out, some people really are God's favorites, and for others, he really said: "You have to respect the balance."

Great skin, all I do is rinse with water and moisturise if I remember. I never wear foundation, which shocks other girls. Just a bit of bronzer and blush for colour when I'm going out. My parents look really young for their age too, so hopefully that comes with it too!

I practically never vomit: I think maybe once in the past twenty years, and even then it was barely a vomit at all. No matter how rough I feel, I can always prevent myself from throwing up.
The flipside is that I also never burp, which means all that gas has to go somewhere. The result? I have some *fearsome* toots.

I have a natural hour glass figure and can lose weight really easily, from all the right areas, when I actually try.
I got my mom's side of the family big b***s, but small everything else (My sister, my mom and all her sisters, all wear men size shoes...). I got my dad's thick hair, rather than my mom's balding. I did not inherit my father's jowls, but I did get my mom's facial hair. >:(.

What I think: My height. Being 6'3 is awesome, just tall enough to be considered tall, not too tall that I look even lankier than I already am.
What others always say: I have a baby face, everyone always assumes I'm like 14 or 15, and I'm 22. Still have yet to reap the benefits of this.

No cluster headaches. Even though they only affect 0.1 percent of the population. After reading up on them and how s****y they can be I'm gonna go ahead and consider that a great victory.

I am 6'-3" with good muscle building genes and a fast metabolism. I get tan easily and don't burn. My teeth are straight without ever having braces. My mom tells me I'm very handsome...
