Your Lucky Charm

Estreeter · March 19th, 2016, 03:25 PM

I know it's all superstitious crap, but do you have an item you consider your lucky charm ?

This is mine,

a cricket ball I've had since my teens. The last game of cricket I played I won a game with it hitting a 4, I kept that ball and has been with me since.

It usually sits on top of my desk here. Seems every time I notice that ball something positive happens

I noticed it this morning, and when checking tonight's lotto draw I won a 4th division

There have been times little things like that have happened, it's why it's my charm

I don't seem to have one... Maybe that's why I have so many issues.

This coin was given to me by my grandfather over a decade ago. It's from the 1996 Olympic Games.

My favorite pocket knife that I bought 25 years ago on the day my dad died , I have carried every day since and it helps me be complete as I feel completely naked without it in my pocket

In the years that I have had the knife it has become worn smooth and hard to open .\, I oil and sharpen it once a week . lucky charm ? not sure but I feel good with it

When I used to do exams I used to take a small model of Madame Cholet(The Wombles) in my jacket pocket for luck...it was given to me by my mother and she said just take it for luck. It didn't always bring me a lot of luck but I don't have anything lucky as such but I never leave the house now without a small penknife - because you never know WHEN you will need one, and a small torch with a blue light, which is nice and bright for night-times should you need to light your way. I believe you make your OWN luck and I never quite see the point of people crossing themselves in sport-I mean if there is a god, surely he has more important things to do then let you win a race!

A Rabbits foot. Which I'm sure has been luckier for me than the original owner.

My Swiss Army knife that my Mom gave me the year she died. I carry it everywhere and you can see how much it's been sharpened over the years.

As a little kid, I found a four leaf clover in a field. I had it put in plastic and kept it for years. I lost track of it decades ago and haven't been lucky since.

My lucky charm is the compass I used when I hiked 223 trails in 11 Northeastern Illinois counties between 1997-2005.
