The most common lucky number games
The lottery: most lotto draws involve a random drawing of a specific amount of numbers to win. The more numbers you match the higher the potential win. Most players tend to play with their own set of lucky numbers and some players make use of a lucky dip. These numbers are randomly picked by a computer. Many lotto players around the world prefer to play their personal numbers but sometimes the element of randomness can pay off by taking away the individual bias. In South Africa we call this quick pick when buying our lotto tickets. Read how the recent PowerBall draw on the 01st December 2020 resulted in 6 consecutive numbers making 20 lucky players multi-millionaires.
Keno is usually played by drawing 20 numbers randomly from a range of 1 -80. While in most lotto games you have to match a certain amount of numbers (e.g. 6 out of 45 in Russia’s GoSloto 6/45) in Keno you can decide how many numbers you think you can predict correctly and bet on these. Usually you pick 12 or 15 numbers (spots). More information about Keno and how to play is available in our detailed Keno article.
Bingo is one of the most popular games around the world. Through the development of online bingo this game has seen a rise in popularity. There are different variants of bingo available. In 90 ball bingo you have to match five numbers in a row. The rows can either be horizontally, vertically or diagonally. In 75 ball bingo you need to match a certain pattern. Every one of us has shouted “Bingo!” before.

What are lucky numbers?
Lucky numbers are used in various contexts. Many people have a lucky number or number combination that they believe brings them luck. Number 7 is considered a lucky number while 13 is usually seen as an unlucky one. Chinese like the numbers 6, 8 and 9. In numerology a person’s birth date and name determines the person’s individual lucky numbers which in return attracts certain things. At the end it all depends on your opinion and approach. It is therefore not unusual to have the birthday bias reflected when picking your lotto lucky numbers. For some of us playing with our lucky numbers gives us the feeling of being more in control. And when they pay off, we feel twice as lucky.
