Last updated:

BTS’s J-Hope has always been known for bringing luck and happiness to ARMYs, but this time, he might have taken it to a whole new level—by helping fans win the lottery!

During a recent event for his solo release Sweet Dreams, a fan jokingly asked J-Hope to give them lucky numbers for the upcoming lottery. Being the sunshine that he is, he happily played along.

Fan: “Hobie is my life’s lotto (prize). Please give me some numbers for a win this week.”
J-Hope, curious about the rules, asked about the range of numbers before casually listing a set:
“Okay, you guys, don’t be hurt (if you don’t win). 4! Can you repeat numbers? How many in total? 5? Okay. 15, 20, 22. That’s four, right? 29, 30! I think that’s it.”

Little did he know, some ARMYs used his picks to place bets—and ended up winning the 5th prize in the March 8, 2025, draw!

Who needs a fortune teller when you have J-Hope?

When the winning numbers were revealed, even netizens were in shock.

“Oh! Wow, jealous.”
“I knew his aura was different! LOL.”
“Looks like everyone will be asking him for numbers from now on!”
It seems like J-Hope’s luck is as strong as his talent. While this might have been a fun coincidence, it wouldn’t be surprising if fans started turning to him for more than just music recommendations!

With his golden touch, maybe it’s time for Hobi’s Lotto Picks to become a thing.
