I'm not very good at statistics but is it fair to say luck over someone's lifetime would fall into some kind of normal distribution? If you simplify extremely and model the good luck vs bad luck outcome as a coin toss (I think overall outcomes bias towards bad luck) some people are going to hit the bad luck outcome every time due to pure chance (all coin flips come up tails) whereas the bulk of people will have some mix of both good and bad outcomes.
So I think (ignoring all the flaws in this model) some people would be just more unlucky over their lifetime due to pure chance and that's what we mean by bad luck.
