lucky numbers
Charmed numerical choices
Lucky numbers are numbers a person considers personally fortunate or auspicious—often used for lottery tickets, gambling, or any situation where fate seems involved.
These might be birthdates, anniversaries, or numbers that have coincided with past good fortune: I always play my lucky numbers: 7, 13, and 22.
The concept reflects a belief that certain numbers carry special significance for an individual, even when probability says otherwise.
