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

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?

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