Try Your Luck with Tyche

I am Tyche and your luck is about to change.

You may worship me as a goddess, but it would be more appropriate to consider me as the epitome of luck and fortune. My name literally means "luck" in Greek.

I am the daughter of Aphrodite. As to who my father may be, the identity is questionable. Both Hermes and Zeus are given as potential sires. The Greeks of ancient times placed great importance upon me. For catastrophic events that could not be explained by traditional or spiritual means, I was often credited as causing those events.

Life is unpredictable. Mortals are in a constant state of flux and instability, both in their personal and professional lives. The attempt to control that instability and manipulate chance in their favor has existed since the dawn of time. And that is where I play a major role.

I am worshipped for my ability to change the outcome of events. Where I am called upon the most is in gambling. From state lotteries to casino betting, I have been the one to whom many mortals have pledged their faith and risked their entire fortunes, just for a mere smile from me.

Tell me, mortal, do you feel lucky today? Take a chance with this random lottery number generator.


Or, better yet, share with us (in the comment box below) your list of "lucky numbers" and maybe I will make your jackpot dreams come true. Do you prefer the direct approach? Then simply tell me which state lottery you frequently play and I will reveal the winning numbers of a particular day's drawing. So cross your fingers and rub your severed rabbit's foot, because you never know when I might be watching—and waiting to turn your fortunes around.

Good luck!
