0 (1 2 3 4 5 6)
(1) 2 3 4 5 6 7
(2) 3 4 5 6 7
(3) 4 5 6 7
(4) 5 6 7
(5) 6 7
(6) 7
This represents the addition of the 6 sides of 2 die, if you roll both you have a better chance of them adding up to 7 than anything else. That's why 7 is the lucky #. Hope that answers your question.

I could go much further, but I think you get it. The number 7 is considered a lucky number because it is a holy number, and holy things are generaly considered good. And a good thing is good to have so by the Transitive property 7 is lucky because it is good.

It goes back thousands of years. People belived that 7 was a lucky/holey number. It has stayed that way through religion. 777 is supposed to be a symbol of God. Busineses such as the gaming industry has explioted this. If you look almost every slot game has 7's on the reels.

It's hard to say where this originated, but 'lucky #7' had been established by the time of Pythagoras who was born between 600-590 BC. I would suggest checking out numerology. A good site is www.astrology-numerology.com it's very informative.

Look at the calendar, it is amount of time it takes for the moon to go into the different phases. It goes back to the time men first looked into the night sky. They saw the phases and how the sky kept time and were amazed.
