I agree, the Dagger and Fain will have a part to play, but you really can't say Mat was lucky to take the dagger.
The dagger 1)Gave Mat a reason to chase after the Horn, eventually linking him to it 2)Put "holes" in his memory that he filled with the memories of battlemasters of history.
I amuse myself.
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

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.
