Mat mentions during the books that j-whitt987 Send a noteboard - 15/01/2011 07:46:04 PM
He first discovered his luck in Tar Valon, when he won dice game after dice game all night and then escaped the city on a ship. That was only a few days after being healed from his connection/dependency on the shadar logoth dagger. It was many months after that that he went with Rand to the Waste and entered Rhuidean.


He was pretty lucky as a kid too. IIRC he thinks to himself about all the times he got busted when he made plans to do some mischief, but things he did spur of the moment were the things he usually got away with.
Kirk: Spock, you want to know something? Everybody’s human.
Spock: I find that remark…insulting.

Key to the final battle is in Matt's first "Lucky" incident. Mndrew - 15/01/2011 04:11:02 AM 2145 Views

If you prefer, "The pattern working thru him" rather than "lucky" Mndrew - 20/01/2011 01:14:35 AM 1032 Views
Possibly true, but it's debatable if that was Mat's luck Lord Haart - 15/01/2011 10:04:45 AM 1137 Views
actually, his luck started much AFTER the dagger *NM* Lo'oris - 15/01/2011 01:28:12 PM 486 Views
he was ta'veren even then so his luck was likely in place already darius_sedai - 15/01/2011 04:47:42 PM 964 Views

That's the first time we see it overtly. But there is nothing to say it wasn't there before darius_sedai - 15/01/2011 07:45:56 PM 1048 Views

Maybe it will come up in AMoL and be used against him? Lord Haart - 16/01/2011 03:55:39 AM 1111 Views
Not sure, but here's the excerpt A Deathwatch Guard - 16/01/2011 04:08:23 AM 999 Views
The second seems much more likely, and in keeping with the series. Ghavrel - 16/01/2011 06:05:20 AM 972 Views
