CHINESE BELIEF IN LUCK

THIS belief system sees some numbers as good, others as bad. Four is considered unlucky because it sounds very similar to the Cantonese word for death. But number eight is believed to bring prosperity and good fortune to those who, for example, live in a home with that number or drive a car with it in the number plate.

THE MAGICAL ‘ANGEL’ NUMBERS

ACCORDING to this theory, ‘angel numbers’ are repeating numbers, such as 11:11, 222 or 444. These are thought to be lucky, and seeing them means your angels are trying to attract your attention.
