For those of you who claim that 66 has little significance in China, consider the common Chinese phrase "Liuliudashun" (Liuliu = 66; dashun = great smoothness and facility, usually in finance, workplace, relationships, etc.).

The number "8" does not really connote luckiness in Chinese. Rather, the pronunciation for 8 (Ba) is close to that for "prosper" (Fa). Therefore, 8 has been chosen usually to denote financial prosperity.

And for those of you who choose to answer off-topic on Christian interpretation of numbers, I permit myself to say that though I am a Christian, I have the least respect for those who ignore/who do not respect other cultures or religions.

66 does not appear to have any significance in China. Here are some numbers that are considered lucky in Chinese:

289: Easy long-term prosperity, mostly in south east China and Hong Kong
5: me, myself
518: I will prosper
5189: I will prosper for a long time
516289: I will get on a long, smooth prosperous road
5918: I will soon prosper
6: easy and smooth
7: together
8: sudden fortune, prosperity
9: long in time
1: unity

1,2,6,8, and 9 are very lucky, so the higher numbers that have combinations of these numbers are also lucky.

May be in Cantonese saying but not in general.
In Hong Kong, there is an old slang by the fortune tellers and fung shui specialists that goes " 三三不盡,六六無窮 " Which means " endless 3's and abundant 6's ". It refers to divisions in math of numbers ( except multiples of 3 & 6 ) by numbers 3 & 6 which is a product with never ending decimals of 3 or 6 respectively.
3 is considered lucky as it phonetically resembles the chinese word 生, which means life, birth and growth. 6 does not have quite the same effect. So while 33 is highly priced, 66 does not command nearly the same attention. Even when " 六六無窮 " by itself also literally means "66 is never poor", turning the abundant 6's into 66 never lacks.

I don't know about China but many of the numbers in the Bible have deeper significance:

1 – Represents absolute singleness and unity (Ephesians 4:4–6; John 17:21, 22.)

2 – Represents the truth of God’s Word, for example, the law and prophets (John 1:45), two or three witnesses (2 Corinthians 13:1), and a sword with two edges (Hebrews 4:12). See Mark 6:7 and Revelation 11:3. It is also used 21 times in the books of Daniel and Revelation.

3 – Represents the Godhead / Trinity. The angels cry “Holy” three times to the triune God (Isaiah 6:3). See also Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7, 8.

4 – Represents universal truth, as in the four directions (north, south, east, west) and the four winds (Matthew 24:31; Revelation 7:1; Revelation 20:8). In acts 10:11, a sheet with four corners symbolizes the gospel going to all the gentiles.

5 – Represents teaching. First, there are the five books of Moses. Second, Jesus taught about the five wise virgins and used five barley loaves used to feed the 5,000.

6 – Represents the worship of man, and is the number of man, signifying his rebellion, imperfection, works, and disobedience. It is used 273 times in the Bible, including its derivatives (e.g., sixth) and another 91 times as “threescore” or “60.” Man was created on the sixth day (Genesis 1:26, 31). See also Exodus 31:15 and Daniel 3:1.

The number is especially significant in the book Revelation, as “666” identifies the beast. “Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six” (Revelation 13:18).

7 – Represents perfection, and is the sign of God, divine worship, completions, obedience, and rest. The “prince” of Bible numbers, it is used 562 times, including its derivatives (e.g., seventh, sevens). (See Genesis 2:1–4, Psalm 119:164, and Exodus 20:8–11 for just a few of the examples.)

The number seven is also the most common in biblical prophecy, occurring 42 times in Daniel and Revelation alone. In Revelation there are seven churches, seven spirits, seven golden candlesticks, seven stars, seven lamps, seven seals, seven horns, seven eyes, seven angels, seven trumpets, seven thunders, seven thousand slain in a great earthquake, seven heads, seven crowns, seven last plagues, seven golden vials, seven mountains, and seven kings.

10 – represents law and restoration. Of course, this includes the Ten Commandments found in Exodus 20. See also Matthew 25:1 (ten virgins); Luke 17:17 (ten lepers); Luke 15:8 (healing, ten silver coins).

12 – Represents the church and God’s authority. Jesus had 12 disciples, and there were 12 tribes of Israel. In Revelation 12:1, the 24 elders and 144,000 are multiples of 12. The New Jerusalem city has12 foundations, 12 gates 12 thousand furlongs, a tree with 12 kinds of fruit 12 times a year eaten by 12 times 12,000 or the 144,000. (See Revelation 21.)

40 – Represents a generation and times of testing. It rained for 40 days during the flood. Moses spent 40 years in the desert, as did the children of Israel. Jesus fasted for 40 days.

50 – represents power and celebration. The Jubilee came after the 49th year (Leviticus 25:10), and Pentecost occurred 50 days after Christ’s resurrection (Acts 2).

70 – Represents human leadership and judgment. Moses appointed 70 elders (Exodus 24:1); The Sanhedrin was made up of 70 men. Jesus chose 70 disciples (Luke 10:1). Jesus told Peter to forgive 70 times 7.

With love in Christ.
