Why does "de la chance" become "de chance" in this affirmative sentence? I saw the lesson note that it becomes "de chance" in negative sentences. Is it because of the way "tellement" modifies it? Thanks in advance for clarification!

Bonjour ELysia,
You're right! Here, we have the adverb "tellement" which expresses an quantity and acts just like "beaucoup" would for example:
J'ai beaucoup de chance = I am a lot of luck
J'ai tellement de chance = I am so lucky
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
