There are at least two senses people usually mean when they use the term, the <i>prescriptive<\/i> sense and the <i>descriptive<\/i> sense. In the prescriptive sense, luck is a <a title=\"Supernatural\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Supernatural\">supernatural<\/a> and <a title=\"Determinism\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Determinism\">deterministic<\/a> concept that there are forces (e.g. gods or spirits) which prescribe that certain events occur very much the way laws of physics will prescribe that certain events occur.
