It’s always extra special when a lottery win coincides with a special day on the winner’s calendar, and it happens more often than you'd think. Maybe it's because people like to treat themselves when a big lottery draw falls on a memorable date. Or maybe special events give inspiration when selecting lottery ticket numbers.
Whatever the reason, there's something about using significant days, months and years that can really pay off.
One example from earlier this year is David McLeod, who had a birthday that was more eventful than he planned. David bought himself an exceptional gift, when he purchased a lottery ticket in Dawson Creek, on his birthday. Unbeknownst to him, he bought himself a ticket worth $1-Million.
What would you do with the money if the same luck befalls you on your next birthday?
Below we've compiled a list of what the world’s millionaires put on their birthday wish lists. You can start picking out your favorite, so you’re ready when your special dates help you find the next Mega Millions lottery jackpot.

Christopher Michael Shellis shoes
If you want to take your stylish attire even one step further, you need to consider Christopher Michael Shellis’ most expensive pair of high heels. The price tag of $218 407 is because of the 2200 diamonds used in the design. These shoes will make anyone wearing them shine like a star!
