I don't have lucky numbers but I have a favourite number. My favourite number is 7 because I like its shape and the way we spell it. I didn't have luck with this number but I have changed my strategy. I believe that you can only beat the casino with luck. I use a random number generator that shows numbers on the whole screen, and then I close my eyes and very randomly choose a number on the screen. This approach works better than choosing a reward according to my lucky number.

You are not alone, shield132. As I pointed before in this thread, number 7 seems to be the most frequently mentioned favourite number:

Hey mcdouglasx! that's interesting.

I heard not long ago that when people are asked to choose a number between 0 and 9, number 7 is the most frequently chosen by far, which makes total sense with what you just said (37 ends in 7, the "lucky number" in many cultures).

So it was clever from you to change your strategy because, if you competed in the same game or had to share the prize with other people (for example with lotteries, or choosing yourself your numbers in plinko, etc.) choosing the same number(s) most people choose is not the best option.
