I do not believe in luck, you make your own circumstances by the way you deal with them.
I do believe in fate (the big things like life and death). Luck and fate are not the same thing. Luck more deals with the idea that if you do something totally unrelated it will change the outcome e.g. if you pray hard enough you will pass your exam even if you didnt attend one lesson.
OK with that personal definition out of the way.. here is my recent experience:
Someone stole a hold load of central heating system copper piping from the house I am renovating along with some electric tools: £500 (insurance wouldn't cover it even if my house was insured).
Bumped into someone when the roads were icy (at 2MPH causing the tiniest of scratches on the bumper which will be buffed out easily). The neighbour (a friend of my bro) gave me the option of going through insurance and claiming for whiplash or settling on the spot: £50
Speeding ticket (my fault, no excuses): £60
Car clamped for being two minutes over the ticket time (yes really 2 minutes): £125
Total wasted money so far: £735
So was all that bad luck? Or destiny? Or.... am I just a doofus?
I really hope there is not more to come!!
