Hi,

LUCK OF THE DRAW

A 'draw' refers to a process of random selection. eg a lottery is basically a draw. Numbers or names are selected ('drawn') and those people win.

The idea behind this expression is that life is 'a draw'. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. Merit has nothing to do with the result.
