Lady Luck
Chance's female form
Lady Luck is the personification of fortune or chance, typically invoked in gambling contexts: Lady Luck was on my side tonight.
The phrase treats luck as a capricious woman who might favor you or abandon you.
Someone who is lucky has Lady Luck smiling on them; someone unlucky has been forsaken by Lady Luck.
