Just want to add that luck=chance. "Pure luck" events are those that statisically have a low probability of happening, but happened. But what you may see as a low chance of happening may be different from reality.

Like a gambler who throws the die in such a way that higher numbers have a greater chance of appearing.

Like a fisherman throwing his hook in a bundle of water weeds that porpotionally have more big fish hiding than little fish.

Like a normal looking guy investing $10000 on his looks (surgery included!) to win the ladies.

Many people tickle lady luck in hopes of shaking out its magic.

And there are many others who pursue strategies to win her over more readily.

And finally there is Zynga whose RNG-server-side-facade means there's nothing more we can do to shift her normal curve in our favor:P
