LADY Luck must be shining for a newborn baby who was born with all the sevens, considered to be one of the most fortuitous numbers there are.
The little girl, who is yet to be named, was born at Southend Hospital weighing 7lbs 15oz at 7.15pm on Saturday, July 7.
Proud father Neil Fordham, 23, from Wickford, said she was the only child at the hospital to be born in the hour of seven that day.
He added: "Number seven is definitely going to be my number in the lottery from now on."
The baby's mother Becky Willey, 19, had not expected her little girl to arrive on such a lucky date as she was due six days earlier on July 1.
