They were looking for buyers this whole time. Perhaps you are unaware but there's an entire cottage industry of selling and buying of vulnerabilities out there. There are many zero days being sat on. No one is getting 'lucky.' They will be sold and used as needed by whatever group.
There seems to be this narrative developing about how this exploit is some rare thing. There are hundreds of serious exploits discovered in Windows a year and those are the ones we know about. There was no nation state involved with conficker, slammer, codered, heartbleed, etc. So its silly to focus solely on the NSA here. Exploits will be found, forever. We don't have the ability to make defect-free software.
