luckier

Better off, randomly

Luckier is the comparative form of lucky, describing someone or something that has more good fortune than another.

You might feel luckier than your friend who got caught in the rain, or consider yourself luckier than most after a narrow escape.

Some people are just luckier than others.

The word often carries a hint of randomness—luck being what it is—rather than deserved success.
