Find out your lucky number to play the lottery
Many people validate their tickets for La Primitiva, EuroMillions, etc. playing always the same combination of numbers. Others, however, always play the same last figure in the National Lottery, Christmas Lottery, etc. The big question is: why do they do it? There are countless reasons, but the truth is that there are as many answers as people.
Numbers and luck, luck and numbers
Since the moment we are born, there are important numbers that accompany us throughout our lives: our date of birth, our age, the date of a special event, our star sign, etc. Both numerology and astrology assign each person some specific lucky numbers.
Volviendo a la pregunta de por qué muchas personas sellan los boletos de sus juegos preferidos de Loterías y Apuestas del Estado jugando siempre la misma combinación de números, o juegan siempre la misma terminación en la Lotería Nacional, las respuestas son de lo más diverso: porque simplemente les gusta una determinada terminación o combinación de números, por superstición, porque son sus números de la suerte, por una fecha especial, porque eligieron una combinación de números al azar y temen que alguna vez dicha combinación salga premiada… Como ya se indicó en la introducción, hay tantas respuestas como personas.
Going back to the question of why many people validate their favourite game tickets of Loterias y Apuestas del Estando playing always the same combination of numbers, or playing always the same last number in the National Lottery, the answers are very diverse: because they simply like a specific last number or combination of numbers, due to superstition, or the fact that they consider those their lucky numbers, due to a special date, because they chose a random combination of numbers and they are afraid that someday that combination would be the winner… As already stated in the intro, there are as many answers as people.
Of course, neither numerology or astrology are sciences, so the goal of this post is to help you find out the numbers that could give you a good feeling when filling out a Bonoloto, La Primitiva, EuroMillions, etc. ticket, or when buying a tenth-share lottery ticket, numbers calculated in relation to important events of your life or assigned based on your zodiac sign.
Lucky numbers according to numerology
Numerology is set a of beliefs and traditions that seeks to establish a hidden relationship between numbers, living beings and physical or spiritual forces. It is also a guessing practice through numbers. Its study was popular among early mathematicians, but of course nowadays it is not considered a mathematical discipline, but simply a traditional belief.
There are several ways of calculating the lucky number, but the 2 most popular ways of doing it are the following:
- LUCKY NUMBER ACCORDING TO THE DATE OF BIRTH: It’s the most popular way of doing it; the date of birth is converted into numbers and the calculations are made.
- LUCKY NUMBER ACCORDING TO THE NAME: It’s another usual way of doing it, although less common than the previous one. In this case, each letter of your name and surname(s) is assigned its alphabet order number and, as in the previous case, the calculations are then made.
Having explained the most common ways of doing it, we are now going to use the maths to calculate our lucky number following some simple steps. We will do it in 2 different ways so that you can choose the method that you like the most, so let’s do it!
Lucky number according to the date of birth
We are going to make the calculation using the date of birth 23 November 1988:
First, we convert the date into numbers: 23-11-1988
Next, we add all the numbers in the date: 2+3+1+1+1+9+8+8 = 33
Finally, we add the figures of the resulting number: 3+3 = 6
For this specific case, the magic number for the person born on this date will be number 6, and the final result must always be a single digit number.
Lucky number according to the name
We are going to make the calculations with the name “Joseph Smith”:
First of all, we convert the letters into numbers according to their alphabetical order number, which will therefore give us 10+15+19+5+16+8 for “Joseph”, and 19+13+9+20+8 for “Smith”.
Next, we add all the numbers of the full name: 10+15+19+5+16+8+19+13+9+20+8 = 142
Finally, we add the figures of the resulting number: 1+4+2 = 7
For this specific case, the magic number for the person with this name will be number 7.
These calculations are used to determinate your single-digit lucky number, but… what happens if you want to play, for example, El Gordo de la Primitiva, a game in which you have to choose 5 numbers between 1 and 54? Well, very simple: you will only have to choose numbers related to your magic number. Let’s fill out 2 tickets with the magic numbers calculated above:
If your calculated lucky number was 6, you can choose the combinations 15, 24, 33, 42 y 51 applying numerology again:
15: 1+5=6
24: 2+4=6
33: 3+3=6
42: 4+2=6
51: 5+1=6
If your calculated lucky number was 2, you can choose the combinations 11, 20, 29, 38 and 47 following the same method:
11: 1+1=2
20: 2+0=2
29: 2+9=11; 1+1=2
38: 3+8=11; 1+1=2
47: 4+7=11; 1+1=2
Lucky numbers according to the horoscope
Astrology, in its broadest sense, is a set of traditions and beliefs that claims that it is possible to recognize or construct a meaning from celestial events and constellations, based on the interpretation of their correlation with terrestrial events; this parallelism is used as a guessing method. Like numerology, today it’s just another traditional belief.
The Western Zodiac is made up of 12 signs and each sign has its own lucky numbers, which are calculated by combining numerology and astrology.
Below, we show you your lucky numbers according to your Zodiac sign:
- ARIES (born between 21 March and 20 April): 7, 17 y 21.
