But I just realized… it is better to use the PRNG, not pick your own. Pick your own is worse because people are crappy RNGs… the “birthday effect” alone highly biases 1…12 and 13…31, lucky numbers like 7 or 11, etc.
Speaking of which, 7 is the dominate lucky number in my culture (white, middle-aged, north North American male). And I think 11 is big in some Eastern Asian cultures.
Which leads me to wonder: what other lucky numbers are there? And why?
I think 7 is considered lucky as it’s the number of moving celestial objects visible to the naked eye: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter. There’s probably many other reasons…
