Why do some people claim to have 'lucky' numbers?

Usually these numbers have recurred in a persons life several times, and they associate them with good things.  For instance, a child may say 5 is his lucky number because that was his number while playing t-ball.  Once you "pick" a lucky number, you tend to notice it in a good context for a very long time.  The truth is, it could be any number.

Lol.  No.  If any one of those lottery scams were true then I've won the English lottery about 10 times.  (I'm in America)

It is purely coincidence.\n\nCoincidence has always given people thought.\n\n“It is no great wonder if in the long process of time, while fortune takes her course hither and thither, numerous coincidences should spontaneously occur.  If the number and variety of subjects to be wrought upon be infinite, it is all the more easy for fortune, with such an abundance of material, to effect this similarity of results” – Sertorius Page 678.

Well, there is no such thing as luck. We only have fortunes / misfortunes, and unforseen occurances. you make your own destiny for the most part.

Yes, it's true.  It happens in Las Vegas all the time.  Actually it's a common occurance in Statistics\n\nExample: Roll 2d6 and total the result.  You will get a result between 2 and 12.  Do this repeatedly and you will get a random collection of totals.  If you plot the number of occurances of each total, you get what's called, a Bell Curve (because of its shape).  The most common occurance is 7.  The least common is 2 and 12.\n\nMistWing SilverTail

It's completely luck. The pick three game is allot easier to win though because it's only 3 numbers. Therefore, if you play it 8 times a week you'll win more than the normal lottery. The only way that tracking numbers would be useful is if they used the same number balls and machine each time. If the same numbers consistently came up it might be because of defects in those balls, and by picking those numbers it would increase the odds of winning. However, I believe that they change all of that stuff all the time, which would make the number-tracking scheme useless.

Luck is largely a point of view.  If you have a positive outlook on life, and you take many chances where the odds of failure are low, then you may begin to view yourself as more lucky.

Good or bad luck is the result of good or bad choices.\n\nCurses? people make them but they cannot affect you unless you allow it. It is all a psychological thing.

In a way I could say, but I think a lot of these people got the right idea already.  I don't REALLY believe in luck.  I think that everything that just happens, happens.  Like when you play a card game you don't get lucky to win or don't even have to have any skill, it is just a matter of probability.  The ones we consider "lucky" just happen to be going in the right direction.  And card players we call "skillful" just know how to hit the odds just right.  It's all about the odds.  Like when someone randomly throws a basketball and makes it in the goal, we would say "That was just luck".  It is all a matter of probability and how we use it.

I have them. Some people believe and some don't, but I know for me, it happens.\nThe usual stuff is knowing when somebody likes me or not, I can tell right away, just by looking at the other persons eyes. Also, I can think of what they're going to say before they say it, that always happens. It don't usually come to me when I'm alone. But if I interact with someone, I can get a lot and they don't have to say a word. These are the most prominent, the ones I get from other people. Now if only I could get it to work for tomorrows lottery numbers....

Not bad luck. Just an "evil" number created by superstitious humans who don't know the first thing of real evil. Did anything bad happen on June 6 1906? what about June 6 1806? and June 6 1706? no no and no.

It is just pure luck.  The best way to win is to be rich enough to buy tickets with every one of the possible number combinations.

Luck is a state of mind. If you project positivity out into the world then it will project positivity onto you. I think what you call luck is an open mindedness on the part of the individual which makes them more receptive to oppurtunities going on around them. I dont think being educated ensures this, but it does help to keep you feeling positive

I don't think anybody has bad luck.Most everyone has to deal with a difficult situation every now and then but I think everything is about attitude.As long as you can see the positive side in things no matter how much "bad luck" you think you have things will look up.\nIam also a pisces by the way.

It sounds like random sampling... why?\nI am not sure what you mean, if it were simply, say, the first 100 names in the Manchester telephone system's number data base, then it would not be random because only a relatively few people whose last name began with an A would be included.\nNow, if all those numbers were mixed up in a hat, and the first 100 drawn were to be used, then the sample is random because anyone in the number data base could theoretically been chosen.\nLet's have a little fun with this. \nIt is impossible to sample, say all 110,000 chocolate bars made by a company in one month. However, quaity control wants to make sure each has a certain number of nuts in them\nSo as the bars are completed at end of the assembly line, once a week, a quality control person randomly grabs 100 bars and counts the nuts in it. Again, any of the 110,000 could have been chosen, but the person merely grabs 100 of them.\nThrough inferential statistics the company can estimate with high accuracy if all the candy bars produced have the right amount of nuts by merely counting nuts in 100 bars. The key: ALL bars had an equal chance of being selected; this is what made the sampling random.

Sometimes, I pretend to be one when a stupid person dials a wrong number.\n\nIt's amazing the information that some folk will provide to an "operator".
