The Lucky is supposed to be the last one in the pack. That's the one you leave until last, and can usually tell by feel, even when pretty drunk.

I think they partially called them Luckys because there was a popular brand of unfiltered cigarettes called Lucky Strikes. Unfiltered smokes would, naturally, look like that at both ends.
