Lucky Numbers

I've been telling people who ask where I work "I work at the Eleven Seven Eleven building."  This is not the name, and I don't know that name.  This is the address.  Does this make it my lucky business address?

How do people come up with their lucky numbers?   If you've played the dice game "Craps" then you know a "come out" roll of seven or eleven is a winner for the shooter.

We know unlucky numbers like "snake eyes" or a two on the dice, or thirteen as in "Friday the Thirteenth."  What makes them unlucky?

Are the selection of lucky or unlucky numbers a crutch, or a substitution for substantive thought, inner reflection, personal responsibility, learning and knowledge.  Is it a shortcut.

Ain't it so - that if you believe in the power of lucky numbers, you also suffer the misfortune of unlucky numbers?

I think I'm going out to buy a lottery ticket.

[Update - I won $3 on a $1 ticket in the Texas Lottery - future post coming.]
