Learn some luck-related expressions

We’re having a World Cup sweepstake in the BBC Learning English office – that’s where we all pay a small amount of money to pick a team at random. The person who picks the winning team, gets all the money!
It’s all about luck - so it’s a good time to learn some luck-related expressions with us. Watch the Learning English team pick their teams, and learn some new language! Can you use one of them in a comment?
