It's "try (one's) luck at (-ing)" ~ "take a chance on (-ing)" or "take (one's) chances (-ing)". "take a chance" is not the same as "take this opportunity". Take A Chance On Me Lyrics (ABBA) If you change your mind, I'm the first in line. Honey, I'm still free. Take a chance on me. _____ I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for all your hard work this year.

" Thank you for the answer
