Are you "lucky"? Do you win things very often?
Once I won a turkey roast by standing on the right square on the floor in some grocery store. The great thing is that it was when I was on vacation and out of the state so we got to eat it in the hotel. :kakapo:
I have modest luck in terms that I get out of situations that go against me from time to time. Mostly money related.
Example: Say I have a car repair that would cost $400. For whatever reason it will cost $100. Simple stuff like that.
I get lucky with traffic lights sometimes. And sometimes if I make a mistake no one catches it until I can fix it. Otherwise I am the anti-rabbit's foot
I rarely win anything I would actually like to win, such as lotteries. I could use copious amounts of money.
I also rarely get lucky. But I'm married so that isn't unusual. :D
I once managed to walk the entire length of my city's high street without once being accosted by "charity muggers".
If that's not lucky then I don't know what is.
I've survived very dangerous situations so I guess I'm lucky.
This just happened to me today. I feel relieved.Quote:

I don't often win things, so I don't feel lucky in that respect. I usually feel lucky in general, what with easily finding a perfect husband, having a mostly-awesome family with few health or mental problems, and never being completely broke... Lately I haven't felt very lucky, but I hope that turns around soon.

I guess it's hard to feel lucky when you don't really "believe" in it. I suppose I was born to a decently well-off family and for that I'm thankful and some might say that's lucky. Because of that, my life has been good. That's good enough for me!
I won a big bag o' chocolates once. Lasted for months I tell you. Months!
And, uh, I survived meningitis at 10 months' age. But mostly the chocolate thing was lucky.
