There was a man who was born on the fifth day of the fifth month of 1955, whose lucky number was five.

On his birthday he went to the racetrack and was astounded to see that in the fifth race (scheduled for five o'clock) a horse called Pentagram was running, with the odds of 55 to 1.

Rushing off to the bank, the man was astonished to find he had $5,555.55 in his bank account.

He withdrew the whole amount, dashed back to the races and bet all of it on Pentagram to win.

Pentagram, obviously,
Spoiler:
came in fifth.
