We see many people on the show with lucky numbers that mean something to them, but they don't know whether to play them or keep them to the end.

If it was me I would rather keep my two lucky numbers 8 & 14 till the end rather than open them early. As if I opened them at the start and they contained big numbers I would be more gutted and regret not keeping them.

Do you think people should keep special numbers or get rid of them early on. Because it might actually be easier if you get rid of them early on than have to make a tough choice between them later on.

Although my system holds no fixed numbers, I'd try to keep my 3 lucky numbers (and box 22) as far back as possible.

I'd use a random system probably - where I randomly selected numbers before I played my game. If I did have any lucky numbers, I'd keep them until the end as I'd regret it hugely if I used them early on and they had large values.

I'd leave my 2 lucky numbers to the end (2 and 11), as if I opened them and they had big money, I'd have a big regret.

The system I would use is not based on numbers, but my final round would have 12,16,18 and 21. I would then not know what to do as 12 and 21 are my favourite numbers (the numbers that make up my birthday) but 16 and 18 are more often than not high for me in any game I play so I would probably keep them to the last two, but I am not 100% sure.

I would most likely keep lucky/numbers that mean something to me towards the end. These would include 18, 8 and 15.

I love Box 1, it's my lucky box, and if I were to open it in the first round, it would be a colossal regret. I'd also just be too scared to open it early in the first place.

I have a slight obsession with the number 5, so I'd most likely keep that box until the end. If I opened it earlier and it had a big number, I'd be kicking myself forever.

I would definately keep my lucky number (17) until the end, if I had box 17 when I was picked to have my game I would be having kittens.

I was born on the 17th, grew up at no. 17, the postcode there was RH17, a horse called 'Seventeens Lucky' came in at 6/1 and was the 4th winner on a 20p Lucky 15 winning me over £1000, my surname begins with the letter Q, hardly anybodys does, Q is the 17th letter of the alphabet. etc etc etc

I have no affinity for numbers whatsoever. I don't believe in lucky or unlucky numbers. It's all random and I would either pick my numbers as I went along going where the fancy takes me or pre-select them randomly.

I'd have some pre-determined system and superstition wouldn't have anything to do with it.

I wouldn't use the word system, but there would always be certain numbers I'd keep - in particular number 2. So if I miraculously played my game with box 2, the only thing that would keep me from playing to the end would be an all-or-nothing board.

Unless it was the £100,000 - won't say no more! ;)

I'm quite open-minded about superstition.

I currently don't have lucky numbers but if I did, I would keep them to the end, as there would be no point in having lucky numbers that mean something to me if I'm just going to open them straight away. I'd save them to the end when I'd need the luck.

Lucky numbers are just like religion if you believe in them that's fine but at the end of the day it is a totally random call and thats speaking from experience of deciding when to use them for a positive outcome look at the last 4 out of 5 in my game(show 470)I believed they would help me when I needed them and were all my favourite numbers.

Be Lucky .Stephen :-D :-D :-D
