Call it circumstances you can't control if you want.
People don't choose which country they are born into. They don't choose the quality of their primary education, whether or not their parents vaccinate them before they catch one of those sorts of diseases. They don't choose any disease (cancer, genetic defects, etc) for that matter.
There is a whole range of things most people don't choose. To be a violence victim or in a car accident, for example.
Most people can't choose whether or not they will be eligible for an inheritance that makes them better off financially - nor do they choose an inheritance filled with financial obligations.
Sure, some opportunities are the sort that one can do things to make them more likely and choose to take them, but a great number are quite random to the individual and completely outside of their control. Just because they have cause doesn't mean they aren't what most folks consider "luck".
