His luck became worse. He was not fortunate. An unlucky event happened to him (in Aramaic, 'איתרע' means 'became worse').

("You took and placed it on the horn's back, it burned and her luck was broken" - Chagigah 5a; and: "But in this matter, if one's luck is broken, and he came incidentally to your city and was caught, and must stand trial there, would you say his companion must also be tried there? This is very unlikely" - Responsa Rema, Siman 75; and: "He evokes compassion in the hearts of all who see him, like a lost sheep, whose luck was broken and wandered in the desert" - Mendele/Small Stories, Beseter Raam)
