text: my better half was born on 13th april, do you think he will be successful  in life because of the 13 jinx idea well i dont believe in the unlucky 13 but i would like to know other people's opinion, especially on a birthday date being 13th. i was born on the 13th of january.  i have even had my 13th birthday on friday the 13th!  i never gave 13 the chance to be unlucky for me.  i made it my favorite and lucky number. ( i even won a lottery prize once because i picked 13)  life is what you make of it, not what you believe a number dictates!
