Got lucky I suppose, as “lucky” as waiting or someone to die so you can live can be. They did warn me it could be weeks before I hear anything.
edit- I was also pretty high priority (or whatever it might be referred to as) being in my early 30’s when it happened, not a drug user, and generally take good care of myself.
I got a heart transplant about 18 hours after being added to the list.
serious question, but how?

for science, can i ask about your income level? just want to be happy for once today, if it really was luck.
Unemployed. Had some extremely helpful people get me on state assistance while I was being treated.
i’m glad it worked out for you
