Inspired by friday's lecture, it made me want to do a bit more research into so-called "lucky" people and here is what I found:

However a quote by Larry King, which is mentioned in this particular article :

"Those who have suceeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves."

I find myself  disagreeing with this statement as I don't believe that if you suceed at something that it is because or to do with luck, necessarily. Suceeding, in my opinion usually has alot to do with talent, hard work, and dedication. But who knows, maybe the both of us are wrong??
