The top 10 lucky charms in Ireland – including numbers and bracelets

The quiz comes after study of 2,000 adults living in the UK and 500 in Ireland revealed those living in the Emerald Isle do indeed get the most luck – experiencing 40 fortunate moments a year.

But people from the UK get just 37 – nearly 10 per cent fewer.

Irish folks are also more likely to describe themselves as lucky, with 49 per cent believing they’re blessed, compared to 40 per cent elsewhere.

And the poll also found 66 per cent of UK adults claimed they’re due a bit of good luck in their lives.

But 26 per cent admitted they don’t truly know the meaning of luck and think it’s too hard to define.

A spokesperson for Lottoland.co.uk, which has launched the lucky in life quiz to celebrate its Irish Lotto draw this St Patrick’s Day, said: “Luck is such a strange concept – most people question whether it even really exists?
