  2. That’s all very obvious - not a huge stretch to recognise that your lucky buddy who finds a tenner in the street every couple of months is probably both observant and generally open (rather than solely blinkered to the purpose of his journey).

    But, I’d like to see the results of ‘lucky’ vs. ‘unlucky’ people in terms of completely random tests, since the conclusions this article reaches seem dismissive of ‘genuine’ (i.e. truly random) luck.
