Hello,

Could you advise me if this sentence sounds natural?

He lucked into a job where he had substantial pay and didn't have to show up for it.

Thanks!

Speaking of natural, I don't think it sounded smoothly.
How about?

He was lucky to have a job where he had substantial pay and didn't have to show up for it.
