There is no such things as "luck" anyway. There are statistical chances that can be measured and considered but no "luck". It was not any mystical force that caused you to have the warranty and get to use it any more than there was for me to decide not to get it and end up not having something happen. We both looked at the cost vs benefit and based upon the data available at the time made a decision on which way we wanted to go. Yes we both had results on the opposite ends of the probabilities but neither of us was relying upon "luck" to make our choice.
