For me, luck is like 50/50 so we better not depend on it. Let's say that a hard worker has much bad luck in life, he will continue to live normally or a little below that line compared to a lazy person with strings of bad luck in life.

No one says you depend on or rely on luck for success. First, you need to work and try your best, and if fate gives you the opportunity plus tireless efforts, you will succeed. Luck is just one of many factors that help us succeed, it is not the key to our success.
People who get a large amount of money through luck, like winning the lottery, and if they don't work hard, they will also become poor quickly.

“Luck is just one of many factors that help us succeed, it is not the key to our success.” On the contrary, luck is the key to our success although there are many factors that contribute to success. Anything that is successfully done can be copied except luck. I believe you are quite a hard worker but what you may lack is just luck. Speaking of your winning a lottery case and losing money quickly if mishandled, that’s a perfect example for what comes around goes around, it has nothing to do with “success” or “hard work”.
