Item: Do you feel lucky today -- 7/7/07?/Tim Woodward, Idaho Statesman

More Info: Getting married today? You have plenty of company. The same is true if you're betting on the ponies, spending the weekend in Jackpot or catching a plane to Vegas. For those who believe that seven is a lucky number, today is literally a once-in-a-lifetime event. The combination of the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh year won't come again for, well, another century. Yes, some women are planning to induce labor or have cesarean sections on Saturday, giving their children a special birth date that will last a lifetime. Nationally, three to four times as many weddings are planned for today as normal for a July Saturday. Prospective newlyweds consider the number seven as lucky in love as it is in gaming, where three sevens add up to a jackpot or a winning hand in Blackjack.

Question: Well, do you?
