Sweepstakes are all about luck. On entering them, a winner is chosen randomly. So, while positive affirmations go a long way, it doesn’t hurt to channel some luck your way. And good luck charms are a fun way to do that. Here are a few we recommend checking out.
Four-leaf clovers
An ancient symbol with Irish origins, four-leaf clovers are believed to bring positivity in the form of hope, love, and even wealth. This makes it a perfect choice for sweeps with big rewards at stake. However, they are rare to find. A true four-leaf clover will have one of its leaves smaller than the other three. So, keep a watch for those.
Horseshoe charms
The popularity of horseshoe charms goes back a long way. Legend has it that they were effective in bringing luck because they were made of iron. The bad fairies couldn’t stand the mineral so refrained from visiting houses that were decked with it. Thus, you can make good luck come your way by doing the same.
Fuzzy dice charms
They’re not just adorable keepsakes but are also known to make you lucky. So, why not have them by your side while entering a sweepstake? The history of dice as a lucky charm dates back to the Second World War, when fighter pilots would keep them with the hope of increasing their chances of survival.
Ladybug charms
In German, the word “Glueckskaefer” or ladybug literally means “lucky”. The more spots they have and the deeper their reddish tint, the luckier these insects will make you! So, while you have one eye on the prize, keep the other out for a ladybug charm, too.
Number charms
The digits 7 and 8 signify good luck. Seven, hailed as “the perfect number” by the Greeks, is also known to represent perfection and knowledge. Eight, on the other hand, carries a special significance among the Chinese because of its perfectly symmetrical curves. Pick either number according to your preference and manifest some luck into your life.
