Is it correct to say "lucky for me" or "luckily for me"? What is the grammatical rule?

I think "lucky for me" is elliptic for "it was lucky for me."    For example:  [It was] lucky for me [that] the car stopped in time.

"Luckily for me" is a complete adverbial phrase.  Luckily for me, the car stopped in time.  or  Luckily, the car stopped in time.

Both are correct.
