10 Good Luck Charms NH and MA Want to Carry For $500M Powerball

No one is going to judge you for being superstitious at a time like this.

The NH Lottery is reporting that Saturday's Powerball drawing is expected to grow to almost half a billion dollars. That means the one time payout is estimated to be over $218 million.

It happens around here more often that you might think. It wasn't that long ago that a Hudson, NH player won a $2 million dollar jackpot. That's not half a billion, but I wouldn't sniff at those dollars, would I?

What are NH Powerball Players Carrying for Luck?

I know when I really want something badly, I have a few things that are my go-to. Many others do too, according to Reddit:

Four Leaf Clovers: Maybe because of all the Irish around here? This one is a popular choice
Penny: These aren't going to be made anymore, so get 'em while you can!
Rabbit's Foot: I do not understand this one, but if you have the spirit of some hare that brings you good fortune, rock on.
Horseshoe: Some people nail a horseshoe above their door to catch all the evil spirits and keep them away, so maybe they are good for putting money in your pocket too.
Ladybug: I'm gonna make the rule here that if you just look at a picture of a ladybug, it counts.
Lucky Cat: Any cat is lucky. Pet yours and pray. If you don't have a cat, look at a picture of a cat. (see above rule for ladybugs)
Wishbone: This one works best around Thanksgiving, but any time of year is magic. Believe baby, believe.

What did I miss? What do you carry for luck?
