Imagine playing blackjack for decades and getting a standoff every single hand. It'd seem boring, but it'd really be extraordinary.

Also luckier than the average.

Yes but you wouldn't happy with that kind of outcome, you'd spend every day hoping for something more interesting to happen, perhaps even hoping for a loss to make things interesting after a certain point.

I feel like Lucky usually has the connotation that you wanted the outcome.

Also, they might have helped their chances by being very competent, but having very low people skills. I feel like that would improve the probability of something like this.

I get what you're saying but even if someone getting struck by lightning is extraordinary, we don't say they're lucky, we say they are unlucky.
