Quick answer: choose a number that ends in 8, contains no 4 (especially no 14, 74 or 54), and ideally has a pattern such as 168, 6688 or a run like 8888.
The five rules
- The ending matters most. 8, 88, 168, 518, 668 or 888.
- Avoid 4, and never 14 (要死), 74 (气死), 54 (我死) or 514.
- Look for patterns: AAAA, ABAB, AABB and mirrors are memorable and valuable.
- Match your sign. Each zodiac animal has traditional lucky digits (find yours).
- Keep it readable. A number people can recite is marketing.

FAQ
Is 7 bad in a phone number?
No. 7 is neutral to positive (起, rise). Some people avoid it only for events in the Ghost Month.
Should the whole number be lucky or just the end?
The ending carries the most weight, but a 4 anywhere is noticed, so aim for both.
