China's 'lucky' phone number The number 8888 8888 is highly auspicious in China It may be lucky for some, but is the telephone number 8888 8888 really worth paying 2.33m yuan ($280,000) for? A Chinese airline seems to think so, after purchasing the rights to the number at a special auction on Monday in the south-western province of Sichuan. Many Chinese people consider the number eight to be lucky, because it sounds similar to the Cantonese word for getting rich.
