Wales Is Revealed As The Luckiest Country In The UK, Despite Being The Least Superstitious

Everyone wants a little luck in their lives. But does the belief in good luck actually make you luckier?

SlotsWise surveyed 1,200 people to find out if they believe in good luck and superstitions, and whether this actually made them luckier.

Only 17% of people from Wales are superstitious, but it turns out that Wales is actually the luckiest part of the UK, with 1 in 10,500 people having won the lottery since it began in 1994.

The survey also found that people in Wales also cross their fingers more for luck than those in other parts of the UK. Crossed fingers is famously the logo of the National Lottery… Could this be a coincidence or have Wales just been the ones to pick up on the lucky symbol?
