Many people in the world believe in lucky numbers.We Chinse think 8 is good,so when they choose car number,telephone number,even room number,they tend to use 8.9 is thought to the biggest number.so 9 is widely used in Chinese.But I don't believe so. It is nothing but a symble.We can use whatever number to stand for something.It is unnecessary to choose on purpose.Do you think so?Happy mylotting!

Chinese people had said that 8 is a lucky number because that number pronounced in same sound with lucky in Chinese language. It is just a homophone matter. Some people said 9 is lucky number because 9 is the highest single number. High is good, and then highest is the best. That's just people opinion. The opinion about lucky number is different in other place and other society. It depends on their traditional cultural and history. I think modern people shouldn't believe anything about superstitions. But in Chinese people society, they have strong inheritance traditional culture from generation to generation. That's why most of modern Chinese people believe in lucky number, feng shui, etc. But that's make their identity as Chinese people stronger in this modern world.

Hi, I think some numbers make people feel better. For example, the lucky car number, such as 88888, can indicate the status and wealth of the car owner. I think that is the main reason that people prefer some special numbers.

It is a way to comfort ourselves or our own faith.In fact it is nothing special.

Being a fan of Numerology I of course believe and actually know that numbers hold much meaning and do symbolize a great deal..however, that said, I don't believe in "Lucky Numbers" but I also dont believe in "luck" of any kind..there are certain numbers we may be drawn to of course (for me its #7 and #11) but that doesnt make them "lucky"...

I don't know that from where this 'lucky number' concept came from nut I certainly don't believe in it.It is just an assumption for most of the people and they are just wasting time on such things.If that was even 10% true I would have really used it in my favor. But alias this is not possible. I also don't believe in horoscopes as they are just opposite to what happens in my life.

I used to believe in lucky numbers. But, since I still have not won the lottery, I don't beleive it anymore. I believed in them, but lately I think it is just a belief in itself. When lucky then lucky, I don't think it has to do with witch number. Maybe I am wrong? Take care, have a nice day!
