[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 857965, member: 1246"] Why is the number "7" considered a "lucky" number? Seven is the lucky winning number in some traditional games of chance. It is also a sacred number in many religions. Why is seven lucky? We are not entirely certain - but we did find many special sevens: * Pythagoreans called it the perfect number, 3 and 4, the triangle and the square, the perfect figures. * According to Jewish and Christian mythologies it took six days to create the world with the seventh day being the holiest day - a day of rest. The Bible, Zohar and other religious texts also recommend that fields were to be left fallow every seventh year as means of allowing the earth to regenerate itself. * On dices, where seven is a winning number, to get a 7 you need one dice on 6 and a 1 on the opposite side on the other dice. All opposite side numbers adds to 7. * Seven Seas * Seven colors of the rainbow * Seven days of the week * In Chinese culture, the seventh day of the first moon of the lunar year is known as Human's Day to be celebrated as the universal birthday of all human beings.
