that's just pure luck, and i think a lot of people would imagine this is called "undeserved success".

"Pure luck" is the source of almost every success story. The embellishments and particular details are often told quite well to cloud this.
Just doing your well-paid job until a comfy retirement, taking regular vacations throughout the years and overall just having a normal boring happy life also falls under this umbrella.
