The Unlickiest Numbers

Every day I'm reminded of what numbers are considered unlucky in eastern and western cultures. How?!?! Take a look at the panel of numbers from my elevator. The numbers 4, 13, 14, 22, and 24 are missing.

 Why?!?!? The number 4, 14, 22, and 24 are unlucky in China. The way you say 4 in Chinese sounds like the word death. 22 made the list because 2 + 2 = 4. The number 13 is unlucky because of Friday the 13th.

So there you go! Dont use these numbers when playing the lottery.
