suppose you applied all your superstitions and numerology beliefs and picked lottery numbers and won... would you behave differently than if you just picked numbers randomly and won? 🤔

I have no anecdata to help think about this. It's not about luck itself, but how you think about luck in relation to yourself. The meaning of your good luck or bad luck.

The universe basically runs the betting system scam on people (where you mail all possible predictions about n possible games to 2^n people and then go after the mark who got the correct prediction)

Do you mean to imply that winning the lottery might turn you into a true believer as where before maybe you just found thought, “Hmm maybe there’s something to this numerology stuff…”

If my superstitions & numerology beliefs were primarily about getting enough money and post-lottery I have enough money (anything > 2 million dollars) - no need.
If not, I'd use the money to 'test' it, and I should have more than enough for that. Either it works or I'll quit.
