run of luck

Winning streak period

A run of luck is a period during which fortune seems consistently good or bad—a streak where outcomes keep breaking the same way.

The phrase usually implies good fortune unless qualified: She's been on a run of luck at the poker table.

A run of bad luck describes the opposite—misfortunes arriving in clusters rather than isolation.
