957 - Luck Out - Phrasal Verbs in a Minute | Happy English

Today’s phrasal verb is luck out. When you luck out, it means you have really good luck - usually by chance. Something goes much better than you expected, and you didn’t have to do anything special. It just happened.

• For example, this morning I lucked out and found a parking spot right in front of the station.
• And my friend Jake lucked out last week - he got the last two tickets to a concert that had been sold out for days.
• And yesterday, I lucked out at the supermarket… strawberries were half price!

Here’s a pronunciation tip: luck out sounds like luk-kout. The K at the end of luck connects with out.
So how about you? When was the last time you lucked out?
