The two are generally synonyms. Fortunate (moreso than lucky) should only mean "accidental" or by random chance, but has assumed a connotation of "having GOOD fortune" and spawned the bad-luck variant "unfortunate" (having bad luck).

There are some situations where one is used and not the other, e.g. a lucky charm.
