How it's used
Often used in media or casual conversation to describe someone who has just experienced a stroke of good luck, such as winning a lottery or being selected for a prize. It carries a slightly dramatic or playful tone, making it perfect for announcing winners on television or in social settings. Unlike simply being lucky, this term frames the person as a protagonist of good fortune.
