Making your own luck

Australia is often called the Lucky Country. If only they could find a way to monetise luck...well helpfully China has come to the rescue, again. A Beijing man has paid US$215,000 for the ultimate lucky phone number: 133 3333 3333. Imagine the prank calls and phone spam the man's going to be deluged now everyone knows his number.
