The Lottery Numbers for “Hand Itching” Winners

There’s a superstition that your hand itching means you will win the lottery or money some other way. But… Is it true? 

Some people think that this belief is just downright silly however, there are others that put their faith in it. It has even turned out well for some lucky lottery winners below.

Which hand is lucky for money?

I grew up always thinking that the left-hand itching means money will be received. However, I learned since then that the lucky hand for each person is different and the right-hand itching means money for some people as well.

Just like other things in life, what’s good for one person is not always good for the other.

Does this mean you should go out and buy lottery tickets? I can’t tell you what to do with your money, but I would advise you to be wary of how much money you are investing into this. As I always say, save first, cover all of your bills, then see what you have leftover to have fun with.
