Luck exists as a sixth way to win but is not actionable; when a coin is flipped 5 million times, the result is 50/50 heads and tails, but within those flips, patterns emerge (e.g., 100 consecutive heads) that appear causal but are purely random. Some people's lives land on heads (luck) while others land on tails (bad luck), and this probability distribution is part of the outcome equation but not controllable.

“you flip a quarter in a random number generator 5 million times and at the end of that five million flips you're going to get 5050 heads and tails”
