Hello.

How can I say "I had luck" in natural English? I guess my phrase "I had luck" isn't natural and probably it sounds odd.

I have several versions:

1. It was a lucky break. (My dictionary).
2. It was good luck.
3. I lucked out.
4. I've clicked (it seems strange for me, but my dictionary says this sentence: at last I've clicked for a good job in the right city)
5. I was lucky.

Are my sentences good and natural English? If they're not, can you show me good phrases?

Thanks.

Only 3 and 5 directly relate to your phrase "I had luck". 1 and 2 could mean that but could also mean other things, such as luck in general or luck for someone else. I don't think "clicked" means "had luck".
 
"I got lucky" can be used to explain a bit of good fortune.
