How to implement 2x luck system?

How would I configure this code to work with 2x luck?

function ChoosePet(player, Egg)
	local Data = Eggs[Egg]
	local Pets = Data["Pets"]
	local TotalWeight = 0
	for i,v in pairs(Pets) do
		TotalWeight = TotalWeight + v.Rarity
	end
	local Chance = math.random(1,TotalWeight)
	
	local Counter = 0
	for i,v in pairs(Pets) do
		Counter = Counter+v.Rarity
		if Counter >= Chance then
			return v.Name
		end
	end
end

You could consider dividing the chances by 2, and then randomizing it again if they don’t have “2x luck”. For example, 1/50, and then later on if they don’t have 2x luck, you randomly select again, making it 1/100 with 1x luck, and 1/50 without.

i never done this before but probably this will work?

function ChoosePet(player, Egg)
    local luck = 2
	local Data = Eggs[Egg]
	local Pets = Data["Pets"]
	local TotalWeight = 0
	for i,v in pairs(Pets) do
		(TotalWeight = TotalWeight + v.Rarity) / luck
	end
	local Chance = math.random(1,TotalWeight)
    
	local Counter = 0
	for i,v in pairs(Pets) do
		Counter = (Counter+v.Rarity) * luck
		if Counter >= Chance then
			return v.Name
		end
	end
end

i have no idea what im doing
