In honor of a day filled with good luck (and green), we are talking about the U.S. cities that seem to be luckier than others. This may not be the first factor people should consider when they are thinking about relocating, but here is a list of the top 100 U.S. cities where there are the most people hitting the jackpot.

The top 10 are:

1. San Diego, CA: A+

2. Baltimore, MD: A+

3. Phoenix, AZ: A

4. Wilmington, DE: A

5. Richmond, VA: A-

6. San Francisco, CA: A-

7. Las Vegas, NV: A-

8. Philadelphia, PA: A-

9. Louisville, KY: A-

10. Reno, NV:B+

Weird? Interesting? Stupid? Funny?

Yeah.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Luck is like that dark matter stuff scientists have spent billions of dollars trying to find with the Large Hadron Collider—a powerful presence that people surmise exists but no one has actually seen. The difference is that we found luck. Using statistics instead of protons, we pinpointed the location of a large supply in, of all places, San Diego. Wondering how Vegas didn't hit this jackpot? Here's our definition of good luck: the most winners of Powerball, Mega Millions, and Publishers Clearing House sweepstakes; most hole-in-ones (PGA); fewest lightning strikes (including the fatal kind) and deaths from falling objects (Vaisala Inc., National Climatic Data Center, CDC); and least money lost on lottery tickets and race betting (Bureau of Labor Statistics).
