How to Find Your Lucky Numbers: 4 Places to Look

Some numbers remind you of a person, a place, or a moment you’ll never forget. Today, we’re exploring how to find your lucky numbers through four sources of inspiration: your birth date, your dreams, your zodiac sign, and the numbers around you.

Each offers a way to give your lottery picks a more personal touch. Read on to see how!

How to Find Your Lucky Numbers in Everyday Life

Start With Your Birth Date

A simple numerology exercise turns your birth date into a single digit. Add all its digits, then keep adding the digits of each total until only one remains.

For August 23, 1987, the total is 38. Next, 3 + 8 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2. That gives you one number to work into your selection.

Look to Your Dreams

A dog, a familiar face, a place you haven’t visited in years: some dreams stay with you after you wake up. Dream books sometimes associate those images with numbers, though the pairings vary by book.

Treat them as a bit of folklore to explore. You could also choose a number tied to the dream itself, such as the address of a house you recognized.

Take a Cue From Your Zodiac Sign

If you enjoy astrology, look up the numbers associated with your zodiac sign. See whether one connects with something else in your life, such as an anniversary or a number you’ve liked since childhood.

How to Find Your Lucky Numbers: notice the Numbers Around You

Your apartment number, a bus route, or a favorite player’s jersey can all offer ideas. You can mix a birthday-inspired number with a jersey number; the whole ticket doesn’t have to follow one theme.

Jot down a few that stand out, then check that they fit the game’s rules.

For example, 42 can be a white-ball number in Powerball or Mega Millions, but it can’t be the red Powerball or gold Mega Ball.

Do Lucky Numbers Change Your Odds?

These methods don’t improve your chances of winning. In a random lottery drawing, a number’s personal meaning doesn’t give it an advantage.
