lucky streak
Consecutive favorable outcomes
A lucky streak is a run of good fortune, especially in gambling or games of chance.
The phrase implies that luck comes in clusters rather than randomly—that winning once makes winning again more likely: She's on a lucky streak at the blackjack table.
The concept persists despite statistical evidence against it.
