this is pretty common (1,810,000 hits on Google), but none of the C-E dictionaries have it. so let CC-CEDICT be the first one then, heh

native speaker explanation + example:
简单说就是走运了。但是针对其形容的对象具有一点贬义,有嘲讽的意义(个人理解,非专业)
a:我今天终于拿到票了!!
b:你走狗屎运了(你居然能拿到)

Baidu Baike:

"狗屎运就是不知道为啥而发生一些好事,就像踩到狗屎一般是很难得又没有原因的,是不小心发生的事,所以说某人捡到钱或怎样的,就是说他走狗屎运。"
seems to coincide with the above 个人理解, but the article also expands more on the term, please read it fully

Editor: This word was suggested by someone else a bit before you, but thanks for the research. The native speaker explanation helped me in processing.

I think I'll add your "unexpected success" for its accuracy, even though it's hardly slang.

"please read [the Baidu article] fully"
You're being ironic, right? Like a lot of Baidu articles, this one contains a large proportion of padding and nonsense ~

3、狗屎运仅发生在踩到狗屎之后,与踩到其他物种的屎无关。
4、狗屎运的运气大小与具体所踩狗屎的排泄狗种,大小、形状、质地、新鲜程度之间的关联情况,尚未听说有人进行统计研究,希望有关研究机构作为一课题开展研究。
...
8.因为踩到屎是很倒霉的一件事,但是由于大部分狗的消化能力很强,所以屎是硬的,也可以说是不幸中的运气。
