getting lucky
Fortune smiles suddenly
Getting lucky means having unexpected good fortune, but in casual speech it usually refers specifically to having sex, especially when the opportunity was uncertain: I thought the date was going badly, but I ended up getting lucky.
The euphemism treats sex as a prize won by chance rather than mutual decision.
