Week one of the NFL season is in the books as well as the second week of college football. Other than the games, the packed stadiums, the beers, and the tailgating that is associated with football, Iowans are allowed to legally gamble on sporting events.

Finally, we have Iowa's luckiest item of clothing. I'd consider myself only a little bit superstitious. I have hats I think are lucky and shirts I'll wear during Vikings games but I've never heard of anyone having a lucky pair of jeans before.

I'm being 100% serious when I ask who has a lucky pair of jeans. I want to know why they're lucky and what is the story behind them. Jeans are the most basic article of clothing of all time. Everyone has jeans. I'm curious what makes yours so special.

Good luck is something everyone would like to add a little more to their life. With this research from the Luckiest Gambler, maybe you can now unlock life's algorithm for better luck. The next time you're buying a lottery ticket at your favorite convenient store, make sure it's on a Saturday and you've brought your lucky jeans.
