“Lucked out” - good or bad?

Question

Settle an argument for me. 
Is the phrase “lucked out” or “to luck out” a good thing or a bad thing?
I say good, as in “I lucked out and there were still biscuits in the lunchroom when I got there!”
Or my husband says it’s a bad thing, as in “I lucked out because by the time I got there the biscuits were all gone!”
Not a great conversation piece, I admit, but we always argue over it!

Another example of something that purely depends on where you live

Answer

I've only heard it as good.  As in "you lucked out, you beat traffic this morning". I've never heard it as bad. Is your husband thinking of three phrase struck out? 🤷🏽
