WHAT IS THE COLLECTIVE NOUNS OF LUCK?

There isn't a commonly used collective noun for luck.

While we might talk about a "stroke of luck" or a "run of good luck", these are more phrases than actual collective nouns.

Here's why it's difficult to create a collective noun for luck:

* Luck is abstract: It's not a tangible thing you can physically gather or count.

* Luck is subjective: What one person considers lucky, another might consider coincidental.

Therefore, while we can use phrases to describe good or bad luck, there's no established word for a group of instances of luck.
