Yes horseshoe has to have the open bit at the top to be lucky

Talisman is a good luck charm

A baby born in its sac is called a "in a caul" or something like that

i think having the winning numbers on the lottery ticket is considered very lucky indeed but i am willing to be contradicted.

No Robin is right.. tis a common misconception.. seeing a black cat cross you path IS lucky.. but has to be a totally black one. A totally white one is unlucky.

Seeing two magpies (for joy)

Being born face up (and giving your mother a hideous back-ache labour!) means you are "ready to take on/face the world"

Number seven. And thirteen for some
