Lucky means “occurring by chance” according to Google. Essentially, the less likely for an incident to occur, the luckier (or unlucky depending on the outcome) you are.
In poker, you are considered extremely lucky to hit your “one-outer” on the river. The chance of that happening is about 2%.
I saw a post on Facebook the other day that someone was told that he was 99% unlucky. Now Facebook has about 350 million users worldwide today. Assuming that you think Facebook is a good thing (because you choose to use it) and my math is correct, you are among the top 5% in the world (6 billion population) blessed with that privilege.
Combine that with health, water, food, shelter, and numerous other things that we often take for granted, just how much luckier can we get?
