It's every ambitious person's dream: You go to bed a nobody and wake up to fame and fortune. Unfortunately, success rarely happens literally “overnight”, but once in a while it does catch some lucky individual by surprise!
OVERNIGHT SUCCESS 一夜にして成功した人（企業／商品）
- A person, organization, product, etc. is an overnight success if popularity, wealth, prestige, etc. is achieved in a short time.
- overnight success は、短期間のうちに、評判や富、名声などを手に入れた人や企業、商品のことです。
- Although the inventor's first few ideas never got off the ground, her extraordinary dream-inducing nightcap was an overnight success.

- The recently opened chain of bagel shops became an overnight success thanks to some very effective product placement in the season's biggest movie.
We hope the day brings you some pleasant surprises!
