I'ld say I had some pretty good luck today... found several red boxes... o_o three... doing a whole run of episode 1 Ultimate =/ sure it was only a Diska Braveman (bartle) Photon drop (bartle) and Red Slicer (Nano Dragon)
But man... I rarely ever get drops, happy day ^_^
...o_O and I'm so glad that coincidence was spelt correctly at least once in this thread... sorry to be a grammar whore but "quawinsatince" was driving me mad... the needles in the eyes kinda mad

e.g. you pick one... you get you fave cookie right away... you got lucky. No doubt about it. 
Simplest and best examle. And if you kept picking untill the whole jar was empty you'd find that you were "lucky" half of the time
Feeling lucky, punk?

There is a rational explanation for everything. Even if the description does have to dive into the atomic scale...

Also as far as I know, the motion of the balls is fairly complex, with ricochets and rebounds, plus there is that thing that seemingly plucks the balls out of midair for the ball selection. It's mostly coincidental that someone has the matching numbers on their lottery ticket.
On topic: Three words to disprove luck.
1) Physics
2) Irony
3) Coincidence
It's so complex that it can't be calculated... therefore it must be plain luck because the creators of the machine can't know what comes out.

More like random chaos, the same type of equations for the possibility of animals evolving isn't it. Over my head.
Anyway we've gone a long way without even an accepted definition of "luck", including idioms there's about 9 definitions.
