幸こう運うんN3sense 1
幸運 is the everyday word for good luck, while 大福 in this sense is a more archaic, formal term now mostly seen in set phrases and compound words like 大福帳.

おはぎ sense 2
大福 is a mochi shell wrapped around sweet bean paste filling, while おはぎ is a ball of rice/mochi coated on the outside with bean paste, so the paste's position is reversed.

個こN5sense 2
個 is the natural counter for 大福 when counting individual pieces of the sweet, e.g. 大福を三個買う.

From 大 (great) + 福 (fortune). The sweet's name is an abbreviation of 大福餅, literally 'great fortune mochi'.
