random chance
Unpredictable outcome possibility
Random chance is events occurring without pattern, cause, or predictability—pure luck with no determining factors.
The phrase is technically redundant, since chance already implies randomness, but the doubling serves as emphasis: It was random chance that we ended up on the same flight.
Often used to stress that no skill, planning, or intention was involved.
