There were few archaeological excavations here and there. From these excavations, archaeologists came to the conclusion that in every culture the prominence of dice (as a means of betting) can be found. After going through the circumstantial evidences retrieved from the excavations, the archaeologists came to another conclusion that dice was invented by different races in different times in different continents. But it was used, more or less, in the same manner. It was used by primitive doctors, witches, magicians, fortune-tellers etc. It was also used to predict the outcome of a game. In many cases it has been found that dice was used to predict the result of a battle.

Most of the time the outcome was said to be the wish or will of the divine power. Fortuna, the Roman Goddess (also known as daughter of Zeus), is the goddess who is said to decide the outcome of a throw. Fortuna is popularly known as the lady luck to the gamblers. Therefore, you must have heard the term while gambling.
