Notes
The "Your lucky cookie" description of first cookie you've ever baked might be reference to Scrooge McDuck's Number One Dime, the first coin that Scrooge McDuck had ever earned.
On Discworld, in areas with high background magic, flipped coins may do various weird things instead of landing on heads or tails.
The achievement "Million to one shot, doc" references a quote from the TV sitcom Seinfeld.
Although the name appears to be generic, the flavor text for the upgrade "Winning lottery ticket" refers to a scene in the game Fallout: New Vegas; in particularly, the delirious ramblings of the Powder Ganger Oliver Swanick.
The upgrade "Improbability drive" reference the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, which themselves are parodied in its description.
The flavor text for the "Four-leaf clover field" upgrade refers to the titular monster of the similarly named film Cloverfield.
The "Be a lady" achievement references the song "Luck Be A Lady" from the movie Guys and Dolls.
The achievement "Ever in Your Favor" is a reference to The Hunger Games, namely the saying "May the odds be ever in your favor".
Ironically, most of the prices for Chancemaker upgrades have to do with the number 13, which is a number that is stereotypically unlucky. This, of course, excludes the upgrade "Your Lucky Cookie", at 260 quadrillion (which is divisible by 13, however).
This building has a fixed distance between each building on the X axis, similar with Antimatter condensers and Prisms. It's probably supposed to make it look like the Chancemakers are fixed to its background's vertical stone pillars.
The die icon used for the Chancemaker and some of its upgrades and achievements features the 1, 4, and 2 sides of the die. 1 + 4 + 2 = 7, a famously lucky number.
