Luck has something to do with it and some not.
If not, endurance is key.
In real life enduring isn't luck, it's strenght.
Whether you win the lottery or not, those that endure are certainly lucky.
I remember a segment on the Today Show of this woman that wanted to do portraits of fallen heroes, just because. She worked a farm while doing her work and shipping the portraits off to the families, just because. She's a hero. Although she never became a millionaire such as Pollock, who was known as to merely splatter paint on a canvas and call it art. By my standards, and I'm glad she beat me to it, she's a hero. Unamed since I couldn't find her name to add to here, must have been at least six months ago, but she's still a hero.
Winning the lottery isn't about money, but winning in life.
