We always connect luck to winning the lottery. Recently also during the World Cup the octapus was used to predict the winners of many matches. In my place, people like to bet on numbers. For example, when there is a car accident, people quickly look at the plate number and record the number. Car plate number in my country comes in four digits so it is suitable to the four digits to buy. So, the car number is quickly bought from the four digit ticket counter. Someone told me that he ahd won a lottery of $100,000.00. I was even driven by the belief he told me that everybody has his or her own luck in life. So one day a lottery ticket seller came to me and sold to me the last unsold ticket with words, "buy this last ticket, it may bring luck to you." I bought it. Unfortunately the ticket was lost so I couldn't check the result when the result was announced. Do you think that I have won it? Do you believe in luck by buying lottery tickets or the four digits? Please share your eprsonal experience on how did you become lucky in your life?

If it is meant for you, it will be yours.
You may loose the ticket, but if the money is
for you, you will get it back somewhere, from other
sources perhaps! So, no worries...if you are lucky,
you will be in luck for many good things to come!
Oh yes, I believe is luck, I believe in blessings.
I do win many things like holiday trips overseas,
and hotel in contests that I joined. I do win a
bicycle, a set of filters purely based on lucky draw.
Pray to God and God will bless you abundantly. God
knows what you need and when you need it

Well people believe or not but luck plays a important role in success, success depends on 90 percent effort and 10 percent luck also.I think everyone has experienced good and bad side of luck in there life.Denying it or accepting it is a different issue .

sometimes i do. when i can't find any means of cause why such good things happen in my life but mainly because i've been good. sometimes i wish for luck, maybe because i cant find any other thing to say to just get what i want without any support. luck, something i thought of when i cant find anything visible.

I don't believe in luck, I believe you make your own. Some one has to win and most have to lose, but I know you will never win if you don't buy a ticket. And this means everything in life. It's in your hands and you hve to enter the game and try before you can win at anything.

Luck is being in the right place at the right time
So, to be lucky...we need to put the effort to be in the right place,
at the right time with the right attitude and preparation.
If we study and do our homework and got good degree.
We are definitely luckier than others who do not have
a degree to land on a good paid job, right? With a good
career and highly paid job, we will be able to buy a
good house, ended up with a good life partner too.
So, other people who look at us and our achievement will
definitely say we are very 'lucky'...
Anyway...I do believe in luck or blessings from God.
There are so many unexplained coincidences that happen
in my life like I win some shopping vouchers to shop for
my favorite pair of shoes and handbags. Holiday destinations
that I always dream of going and new hotels in town that I
wish I have the opportunity to have a relax weekend get-away!
So, I would say...blessings do exist!
Do not worry about the lost ticket... because there are people
who appeared on the newspaper who won RM4.6 million with numbers
they jot down from the water meter reading! So, if you are lucky,
you will definitely have the winning money knock at your door!
However, a piece of advise. The next time you buy a lottery ticket,
jot down the numbers in your diary. In case it lost, you can check
the numbers. If it wins, you can always go to the lottery ticket
office to claim it. In Malaysia, our lottery ticket behind can write
our name and identity card number. So other can't claim it if the ticket
wins the money.

i dont believe in luck. i beleive in creating my own luck. Bcos it does happen that when things go right we say it was our hard work. But when we dont get what we want due to our lack of efforts we always blame luck.

Yes i believe in luck :)
I've received everything what i wanted in the past. And i'm still fighting for my luck and try to help it become true :) But i have to say that my wishes are modest and i'm not greedy for the big money from the lottery, that's not the most important for me. I need only as much as i can pay my bills and to enjoy that life, which is given to me :) When i was little child i loved playing with electronic stuff. I had wish to receive little recording machine for voice records. My family was not rich, but on my 18st birthday my father gifted it to me. It was little hidden wish, because i knew that there is no chance to receive something, what i really don't need so much.
In my life as adult person i can say that at the end, i always got what i wanted. It was not in the moment i wanted to have it, but if something is your real wish, u will keep it, even if takes long time to receive it.
Also i think that people who are avid are very unhappy.

I don't know, it's just chance, really isn't no luck. If you want to accomplish something I suggest to take your own actions instead of waiting for that day to get "lucky" :P

you haven`t got lucky to become a rich guy.
you cannot have luck if you don`t try to get it, so, you may work harder and someday lucky will come to you. good luck
