When I ask this question, I do assume the idea that there are things that God does not control –this question is not meant to draw into that specific topic. At the same time, I do not believe in superstition as that is the belief in a higher power, other than God, that can have control over a situation. So can there ever be a time, based only on our own choices and nothing else, that luck exists? Please let me know if I need to clarify my question.

I don't think I believe in luck in any circumstance or form. The reason for this is that luck is based on chance and accident. If we live in a universe where events are under complete control and nothing happens without being caused or permitted by someone omnipotent and omniscient as God, than I don't think there is any room for chance but rather fate.

Not completely but I just believe in good luck, bad luck I do not believe in, such as step on a crack, breaking a mirror, walking under a ladder, etc. So, not really.

I think that it is like you said God's will. I think that all in all luck is more of just being blessed out of pretty much no where.

I don't believe in luck at all, and I think it is just attributed to events that have an unlikely percentage to turn out good. Say you didn't know the answer on a school test, so you just guess. You end up getting the answer right and then you think are lucky. The reality is that the "lucky" outcome was less probable than you getting  the answer wrong, so it is therefor attributed to luck.

I also find it funny when people say some one is lucky when they have been put through horrible circumstances. Here is an example, "oh wow he survived the car accident? He is so lucky!" This kind of thing happens all the times, and if anything, that person was unlucky to be in that situation in the first place!

luck is what you make of it a person is lucky to hve survived a crash but this dosent mean he is a lucky person i dont think people are lucky themselves, just undergo lucky cirumstances if like smot said, you do guess correctly on a question, that low probablilty of you getting it right is just another combination of words for lucky. in my eyes the words low probability and success ARE luck. When people say i dont believe in luck just low probability rates of success it boggles me because its the exact same thing luck IS a low probability rate of success.

your lucky to be born into a rich family and become wealthy your unlucky if you were born in somalia on a pirate ship with a disability, the low probability of you ending up being born on the ship with a disability is another way of saying your unlucky to be born there.

Luck is just another word for chance. If you are superstitious then you follow the term luck (which has a fairy tale ring to it with gold pots and lepricons). It's just another word for chance. Chances of winning the lottery are extremely low. But a superstitious person will probably rule out that idea and base it on superstitious numbers. If they see a bad number they will pretty much conclude that there is no chance (I mean luck) of actually winning

I guess luck can be considered superstitious belief while chance can be considered scientific belief.

I think everything happens for a reason. I also think luck can be a way for satin to drag you in. Let's say you do drugs. 5 times you go to the hospital for drug overdoses. All 5 times you're lucky. The sixth time you go through that, you figure you're going to survive. But you end up dying. You're in hell. Or let's say you drink and drive. You do it 3 times and never get caught. The 4th time you do it, you go to jail. Luck can manipulate people's minds.

I think good luck does exist, because I've seen luck occur in action. Like someone said above this post, luck is a different word for chance. That might be true, but regardless to the word, I believe it does exist.

Bad luck, on the other hand, is simply stupid. I'm only saying this as my opinion, that's all, and I do not believe avoiding sidewalk cracks would cause bad luck. 

It's just the other side of chance, when you lose the chance.

I guess I do believe in chance, not luck since you can't not believe in bad luck if you believe in good luck. Disregarding belief in God (and the unknown extent of hi influence in this world), I feel that chance is a great way of putting explanation to the phenomenon.

No, God has ordained everything. He knows everything that has happened and will happen and controls it all. U might say that if something bad happens, like someone dies in a car wreck, then it was bad luck, or that God wouldn't do that. However, God does everything for a reason (like it says in the Bible) and all of it happen to glorify Him in the end.

Luck does exist its a small town of little less then 1,000 people located in Northwestern Wisconsin lol. I know that isn't what you mean, I believe we make our own luck rather its good luck or bad luck. We decide rather something happens to us is lucky or not.
