How it's used

Refers to the folk belief that a person's presence can influence the luck of their surroundings, often used when someone joins a team or visits a place and immediate success follows. It is a positive, lighthearted observation rather than a serious superstition. You will often hear it used to compliment a new employee or a guest who seems to have brought a lucky streak with them.

Examples

He really brings good luck; as soon as he arrived at the company, we landed a big deal.
Do you think he is the kind of person who brings good luck?

Common phrases

a person who brings good luck

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with simply being a lucky person. It specifically describes the effect someone has on others or their environment, not just their own personal fortune.
