Oddly enough, the man who said this quote was NOT a famous philosopher, poet, writer, etc....but a baseball player! Lefty Gomez, a Yankee player, said this (Allen, being a hugh baseball fan, turned this quote into something profound, here).
And I agree. As much as we'd like to say we have complete free will, there are so many factors that we have absolutely no control over in our lives. That being said, I'd rather be lucky, too.

this is one of the best opening monologues by woody allen; probably only second to Annie Hall's opening scene.
