Luck Factor

In the quarter-final of the UK online backgammon championships I lost 1-11 and was lucky to get the 1! XG analysis shows a luck factor of -8.4 so it certainly wasn't my day. That got me to thinking about just how lucky or unlucky (in XG terms) one can be so the my question is this: has anybody seen a luck rating in double figures (positive or negative) for a match of 11 points or more?
