Best luck you've had.
I don't know how lucky it was, but it was definitely the lowest probability and best possible timing for a thing to happen.
Back when I was farming General Veers, this was right after Imperial Troopers got their rework and I still didn't have him unlocked, I would do his hard node every day and finally got to 49/50. So at the end of the day I spent all my ally points on bronzium packs, as usual, and get the 50th shard and thought, "Oh, great! I should go unlock him now! Eh, I've got enough for one more pack, it won't take too long to open." So I opened the next bronzium pack and inside was a full Veers. So not only was I able to unlock him, but I got him to 4* and had 20 shards towards his 5th star.
This was before the change to repeat character pulls, too, so setting aside that had I closed the window and unlocked him then come back I wouldn't have gotten the full Veers, even if I had gotten him I'd have only gotten I think 25 shards?
So share up, what's the best luck you've had? Not necessarily the best outcome, but the most improbable thing. The game has such a playerbase that a one-in-a-million outcome is going to happen to someone every day.

I'm a big fan of using the Feedback board instead of General Discussion, but this is a thread for folks to share their stories--wherever that luck came from. Mine and ChristophIV's stories happen to involve datacards, but I'm sure there's folks out there with improbably-long expose trains under resistance, raid loot that was all full pieces, that character they were farming in the guild store showing up days in a row, etc. It's almost the literal definition of General Discussion.
I'm going to tag @Kyno since I know he's currently active at moderating and can maybe find out why. I don't think he moved it, since he usually puts a "moved to X" notice when he does.
Even did a little dance afterwards.
In general not very lucky with draws etc. Was thinking of doing an Imperial Trooper team after the last Empire Territory Battle and then pulled Veers from a bronzium the following week.
Baze unlocked
HK—47 unlocked
And additional usefull shards.
This was back when Chaze were kings in the arena.
Same here.
In game guild: TNR Uprising
I beat the REAL T7 Yoda (not the nerfed one) and did so before mods were there to help
*This space left intentionally blank*
I don't celebrate though. I feel it's a break even return on time investment in this game.
Much like the end of a Sabine shard drought.
Fills a Platoon spot. That's crazy luck!
When I was prepping for Thrawn I pulled two full Carbanti in a week when getting to G8+. That saved a fortune.
