How it's used
This expression is deeply tied to the cultural concept of luck as a continuous flow rather than a single event. It implies a sustained period of prosperity or success, often used when someone seems to have the Midas touch. It is frequently used in casual conversation to describe someone who is currently experiencing an unusually high run of good fortune.
Examples
He has been on a winning streak lately, everything he does goes smoothly.
Are you on a lucky streak? You win every time you buy a lottery ticket.

to be on a lucky streak
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply being lucky once; it specifically implies a sequence of fortunate events. Using it for a single lucky moment sounds unnatural as it misses the sense of a streak.
