I had always thought that Matt picking up the dagger was the pattern tagging him for the war, thus the first overt working of his "luck".
You notice in latter books that he is always pissed when he starts hearing the dice in his head, because he knows his "luck" is in play, and it seldom works out how HE would like it to work out.

Key to the final battle is in Matt's first "Lucky" incident.

You think him taking the Dagger was lucky?

If you prefer, "The pattern working thru him" rather than "lucky"

That's the first time we see it overtly. But there is nothing to say it wasn't there before

About his luck... Does anyone still remember Liandrin and the 12 other Black Ajah sisters?

Maybe it will come up in AMoL and be used against him?

The second seems much more likely, and in keeping with the series.

No - Mat has always been lucky, winning more than losing.
