Default Do you consider yourself 'lucky' or 'unlucky'...

...when it comes to winning things or just general everyday mishaps happening to you..?...

luck is based on things out of our control, making your own luck is about improving your chances to be lucky.

A bit of both. Last Saturday I was stunned when I got five numbers come up on the National Lottery considering I have only been doing it at a £1 a week the last 8 or 9 weeks. This year being a harder year than normal, I was greatful for that win But when things aren't going the right way I find things usually eventually fall into place and something happens along.

I think if your a positive person you just deal with bad luck, but if your a negative one, you tend to go off on one.

Wao that is fantastic. I am so pleased for you!.

I am lucky with premium bonds (small amounts) but not with lottery.
I just feel lucky generally though.

I don't really believe in destiny or karma or anything like that, it's not worth it to get your hopes up, sometimes I do think that I was in the right place at the right time though.

Unlucky. I've never won anything that was based on pure luck.

I hope you are enjoying your windfall Suze.


I believe in luck, it doesn't always come in the shape of a win, it can be being in the right place at the right time, or the person you meet. I consider myself a lucky person, but I also work hard so it's a bit of both I suppose.

Yeah I am thanks Cherie I believe in luck also, after all it is a name for things that happen at the right time, and if that is not a degree of luck then I don't know what is.

I think everybody has a bit of both. on the whole I'd say quite lucky, though there are times when I feel like the most unlucky person in the world .
