Laurie Dorn is hoping to get lucky today, on her birthday.
It’s Nov. 11, 2011 — 11/11/11 — and Dorn, along with her family, is on a gambling trip to Biloxi, Miss., where her daughter, Katherine Whitfield, said she will put her money on the number 11. It’s a family trip they have been planning for a long time.
Dorn was born on Nov. 11, became engaged and got married on the 11th of October and February, respectively, and saw both her children born on the 11th.
Still, she says, she’s not a big believer in fate.
“I’m not a horoscope or a big fate person or anything like that,” she said. “I’m not really very superstitious or anything. I just think it’s a fun coincidence. It’s one of those little fun things that happens in life.”
