Sorry for the late reply: i had forgotten i posted here, but you deserve a reply nonetheless.
"Chance" or "luck" is a human concept: To convey that a series of preferable events happened, even if seemingly unlikely.
That is it. In actual reality, chance or luck does NOT exist. Every single phenomena is the result of earlier phenomena prior to it: It's all inherently connected and not in any supernatural way even: Rather, the universe is a series of events that have resulted in its current form.
NOTHING of that is random: We do not fully understand the entire process. Only that it is not random.
True randomness does not exist either: This is important to understand in every day usage. By definition: A computer cannot be random: The "variable" for random is a non-randomly defined string of actions: It is ALL *seemingly* random. A human also cannot be random: Every action is a result of an interaction of your mind and body; Again, it can be seemingly random but each and every consequence can be reduced to a cause.
The same is true for the universe. Something / someone caused it to happen. Then the consequences of these causes further gave rise to other phenomena through their mutual interaction: This is what we call physics.
So you see: There is no luck. There is no chance. There is no random: Even seemingly random things will eventually prove to be in complete order. Imagine a string of numbers, like for example:
131314212412151256 09651298512521551 623462363266236 131314212412151256 09651298512521551 623462363266236
You have two seemingly random number strings that are completely identical: This shows us why things seem random to us: There is no logic until we understand the logic. If a number string is large enough, it can seem random by its virtue of being so long that it would not be apparent that it is in fact repeating itself and thus would be completely ordered. Imagine sequence of "random" numbers with a billion digits. It would repeat itself over every 200, 000 digits. Our minds would have incredible difficulty seeing the fact that it is in fact repeating and would constitute this as random.
A sequence of improbable events isn't random or by chance: It's merely improbable. Nothing more.
TLDR: There is no random. As such, there is no luck nor chance. There is "subjective" chance: Our perspective. Things can seem lucky or happening by chance: But this is to convey a message in speech. The actual universe does not work by these literal devices.
Even then: Some languages don't have any term for "luck" or "chance."
/E: Evolution's main point is that it happens because of life's adaptation to its environments. NOTHING of evolution has ever been considered random or by chance: Otherwise it wouldn't be as logical as it was: There is logic why giraffes have longer necks. There's a reason why humans have lesser senses of smell and sound compared to most animals. Even to other primates.
/E2: Funnily, i made the following realization: Almost all religions claim there's a creator god. Thus even then, at best, the actions of such a god would only be random to US. Not to him/her: There were probably reasons why they did what they did.
/E3: Bear with me: But even lottery is not actually chance. This is obvious.
