unluckiest
Least blessed person
Unluckiest is the superlative form of unlucky, describing someone or something experiencing the worst fortune compared to all others in consideration.
It often appears in hyperbolic complaints or commiseration: I'm the unluckiest person alive—my phone died right before the interview.
The term can characterize a single catastrophic event or a pattern of misfortune: That was the unluckiest bounce I've ever seen.
