Hey everyone! 👋

Today’s expression is “luck of the draw.” I learned just recently from

@Coach Miguel

in his DDM VIP Class

👉 It means something is decided by chance, not by skill or choice.

You use it when the outcome depends purely on luck.

Origin:

This expression comes from card games and lotteries, where cards or names are drawn randomly. Whatever you get depends on the draw — good or bad — and there’s nothing you can do about it. Over time, it became a common way to talk about chance in everyday life. 🃏

Examples:

• Getting a good seat was just luck of the draw. 🎟️

• Sometimes who you work with is just luck of the draw. 💼

• Whether the weather cooperates is luck of the draw. ☀️🌧️

Now it’s your turn! 💬
