सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
In Poland, the phrase is often used with a high degree of emotional sincerity. Because of the country's history of economic hardship, 'luck' is viewed as a precious, almost sacred thing. Ancient Slavs believed the sky was a solid dome where gods lived. Anything falling through was a breach of the divine realm, hence the 'miraculous' connotation. In Polish corporate culture, using this idiom to thank a colleague is a way to soften the hierarchy and show genuine personal appreciation. Though Poland is traditionally Catholic, the phrase is now used by everyone, regardless of faith, as a general expression of good fortune.

Don't use for hard work
If you worked for it, don't use this. It might sound like you're saying you didn't deserve it.
