She went from Facebook to fortune.A Michigan college student who bought a “mystery bundle” on Facebook for cheap was astonished after it contained a luxury Gucci watch possibly worth nearly $3,000.“At first, I didn’t believe it was real,” Olivia Gilcher told Jam Press while recounting her incredible score.
