How to get lucky in Dallas

The Dallas Mavericks just nabbed the No. 1 NBA draft pick. Clearly we were born under a lucky star.

With less than a 2% chance at the No. 1 draft pick, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the odds by winning the NBA Draft Lottery. If you were planning to test your luck — it seems like now is your chance.

Just for fun, here are five ways to get lucky in Dallas.

Hunt for four-leaf clovers

Pick a park from our guide, and hunker down over a patch of clover. Pro tip: The trick is to lightly run your hand over the clove to separate the leaves.

Go on a date

Don’t look at us like that — luck can be having a really good conversation. Use our local date night guide to break the ice.

Support local rabbit feet

Rabbit feet are lucky, so the North Texas Rabbit Sanctuary must be really lucky. You can also donate or volunteer to support the sanctuary.

Get a sought-after reservation

If luck is in the air, we’re using it to nab a reservation. It’s next to impossible to snag a table at the Zodiac Room. But you can try.

And, of course, catch a game

Maybe some of the Mavericks’ luck will rub off on our other local teams. Bust out that unwashed lucky jersey of yours and catch a game at a local sports bar.
