幸い Usage with Particles (~で or ~に)


I'm trying to write a phrase that says "Fortunately I passed (the exam)" and I
would like to use 幸い in it, but I'm not sure how I would go about writing it,
mainly because I'm not quite sure which particle to use together with 幸い. In
my vision there are 2 options:

[code]

    幸いに合格した
    
[/code]

or

[code]

    幸いで合格した
    
[/code]

I'm more inclined to say that the first option is the right one, but both
could be wrong or the second option could be the right one. I would appreciate
some insight.




「[幸]{さいわ}い **に** 」 is the correct form and another possibility is 「幸い **にも**
」.

「幸い **で** 」 is incorrect.

You will see/hear 「幸いです」、「幸いである」、「幸いでした」, etc., but the 「で」 is not a particle
in any of those phrases.




「[幸]{さいわ}い **に** 」 is the correct form and another possibility is 「幸い **にも**
」.

「幸い **で** 」 is incorrect.

You will see/hear 「幸いです」、「幸いである」、「幸いでした」, etc., but the 「で」 is not a particle
in any of those phrases.
