pure luck
Total random chance
Pure luck is chance with no skill, planning, or effort involved—success or failure determined entirely by randomness.
The phrase emphasizes that nothing but fortune explains an outcome: It was pure luck that I found my keys.
Often used to deflect credit or assign blame to fate rather than competence.
