lucklessness
State of misfortune
Lucklessness is the state of being consistently unfortunate or having bad luck.
The word carries a sense of persistent misfortune rather than a single unlucky incident: His lucklessness at the poker table became legendary.
It often implies a helpless quality—bad outcomes that seem fated rather than caused.
