It just happened.For example, this morning I lucked out and found a parking spot right in front of the station.And my friend Jake lucked out last week - he got the last two tickets to a concert that had been sold out for days.And yesterday, I lucked out at the supermarket… strawberries were half price!Here’s a pronunciation tip: luck out sounds like luk-kout.
