lucky roll

Dice favor you

A lucky roll is a dice outcome that favors the roller, especially in games where chance determines success.

The phrase extends beyond tabletop gaming to describe any fortunate turn of events: Getting that interview was a lucky roll.

It implies good fortune rather than skill—the favorable result of randomness.
