It's my lucky number. The number 17 seems to turn up in a lot of places for me (unfortunately not very often gambling-wise). A number of years ago I had done some research on a local rumrunner from the Colonial days and it turned out that he died in 1717. Once in awhile, the 17 combination would come out at the track or the daily lottery...

And, no, I did not realize that today is 7/11. See what I mean about the combination?
