I'm opening this thread because I am curious about what the general trend is among the forum members regarding this topic: if you have to choose, do you prefer to pick some random numbers, even using a random number generator, or you prefer to select your "lucky" ones?

I'm not superstitious most of the times, and I frequently select the automatic filling option with random numbers so as not to waste time, instead of selecting them by hand. In the end, the chances are always the same no matter the numbers you choose. But I'm asking this question because there are times when I prefer to follow my inspiration and select "special" numbers, or avoid "ugly" ones.

It's funny, we all know "random number generators", but I've done a search and there are also "lucky number generators" based on numerology   Cheesy

So the question is: you don't care about the numbers and fill them automatically, as they all have the same chances to win, or you tend to pick your preferred ones (birthdays, favourite numbers,...) manually?
Random, because you get stuck with lucky number mentality. Different games need different amount of those numbers, so you feel need to bet on more games so you might use all your number combinations, or reduce the numbers that you prioritize less.

Numerology doesn't make any sense to me either. I can pretty much talk meaning and find connections with all the winning number combinations later on. That's because you can just invent those links as you go. It might seem reasonable for anyone who is superstitious.

But with lucky numbers are just more pressure to get the system right all the time, if you believe such a thing. I know people who are stuck on playing lottery with theirs for their whole life, as they couldn't risk of losing jackpot with those numbers on the week they would have skipped.

And if we are talking about lottery, many of those lucky numbers are going to be common lucky numbers and you would have probably share the main prize if you ever won it.
