Ivete Medeiros says she's lucky to be alive after getting struck by a stray bullet during a robbery in Belem, Brazil.

Her saving grace? Her bra. 

"I said to myself 'There's no blood, I wasn't hit' and then a few minutes later I started to feel some stinging," she said. 

It turns out the bullet DID hit her but was blocked by her underwire bra.

But Medeiros says it wasn't just the underwear. 

"I think that God saved me. The bra helped but it was God who saved me."
