lucking
Winning by accident
Lucking is the present participle of luck, used when fortune favors someone—usually in the phrase lucking out, meaning to succeed through chance rather than effort: She kept lucking into good parking spots.
The verb luck is informal and implies stumbling upon good fortune rather than earning it.
